This Shark Awareness Day, we need your help to turn the tides on their decline.

 | | |  | | Kathleen — | | Some glow in the dark. Some can live up to nearly half a millennium. They can detect electromagnetic fields — from prey and the planet alike. They've hunted in the waves since long before the first dinosaurs hatched and come in every shape, size, and sea you can think of. | | Sharks are nothing short of spectacular — but when 100 million go off the grid each year, the delicate balance they bring to ocean food chains is at risk of total collapse. | | So please, Kathleen — donate $10 before midnight to power the fight on Shark Awareness Day before shark numbers sink further at the hands of corporate greed. | | | | When people discover that the fishing industry brings about the demise of 100 million sharks each year, they tend to think of a sole culprit: shark fin soup. | | But with global overfishing and incidental capture in fishing gear largely responsible for the 70% population decline over the last 50 years, this sort of scapegoating just lets the billion-dollar global demand for shark meat, oil, and cartilage off the hook. | | This Shark Awareness Day, we're sounding the alarm on the corporate greed threatening sharks and the survival of all ocean ecosystems in turn. The first step: campaigning across the globe to demand the adoption of the hard-won Global Oceans Treaty and the establishment of a network of sanctuaries where sharks can recover their dwindling numbers — and someday thrive once more. | | We're counting on your support to turn the tides — so please, Kathleen, donate $10 or more to power the fight for our sharks and all our Earth's inhabitants before midnight tonight. | | | | Greenpeace USA | | | | | | |
