Hat seeing this! 👎@savingthewaves "The Price Our Wildlife Has To Pay" ––——––——––——|🔹|––——––——––—— 🔘 #SavingTheWaves ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This powerful image shows how great we influence the lives of those who we rarely or never see beneath the waves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is a problem that is increasingly of concern. Various United Nations General Assembly resolutions now provide a mandate for, and indeed require, action to reduce ALDFG and marine debris in general. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Consequently, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) entered into an agreement to carry out a study in relation to ALDFG in order to raise awareness of the extent of the problem and to recommend action to mitigate the problem of ALDFG by flag states, regional fisheries management bodies and organizations, and international organizations, such as UNEP, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and FAO. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This report reviews the magnitude and composition of ALDFG, and while noting that information is not comprehensive and does not allow for any global estimates, suggests that gillnets and fishing traps/pots may be the most common type of ALDFG, although netting fragments may also be common in some locations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The impacts of ALDFG are also considered and include: continued catching of target and non-target species (such as turtles, seabirds and marine mammals); alterations to the benthic environment; navigational hazards; beach debris/litter; introduction of synthetic material into the marine food web; introduction of alien species transported by ALDFG; and a variety of costs related to clean-up operations and impacts on business activities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In general, gillnets and pots/traps are most likely to “ghost fish” while other gear, such as trawls and longlines, are more likely to cause entanglement of marine organisms, including protected species, and habitat damage. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸: @aliveunderwater Via: @maestro320 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌀 TURN ON 🔊 ⬇️⬇️ PLEASE READ ⬇️⬇️ ––——––——––——|🔹|––——––——––—— 🔘 #SavingtheWaves ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A Norwegian company operating off east Greenland is currently firing airguns that emit 259 decibel blasts towards the seabed in order to find possible oil reservoirs. ・・・ It is clear that noise from seismic activity has an impact on whales as it can damage their hearing, ability to communicate and also displace animals, affecting diving behavior, feeding and migration patterns. There are increasing indications that this could cause serious injury, and may also disrupt reproductive success and increase the risk of strandings and ice entrapments. ・・・ Seismic blasting in icy waters is just one of the horrific practices the oil industry is doing in the Arctic, firing airguns into this important and beautiful ocean. ・・・ Shell and other oil companies are hoping the world won’t know that seismic blasting exist, even less notice the danger it poses to endangered whales and other marine life, but we’re here to expose this madness and keep eyes and ears on a harmful operation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Don't wait for change, BE the change - ––——––——––——|🔹|––——––——––—— http://ift.tt/2rHDPo7

#Repost @sideytheshark with @get_repost ・・・ Manta rays are surprisingly smart. This is how the manta rays do their bottom feeding, first they stir up the sandy bottom & start feeding.

Manta rays can live up to 40 years old and even older sometimes and their name actually means blanket in spanish. They are extremely smart animals and I have never met a diver who doesn’t like mantas, they have such gentle natures that it’s hard not to like them . . . . . #divingbubbles #goproanz #marine.animals #kingsofthedeep #visitfrasercoast #all_animals_addiction #oceanswildest #savingthewaves #ourepicocean #sandyripple #naturein_focus #fathomlesslife #sea_creatures #wild.planet #wildlifeplanet #nature.geography #queensland #oceanvirals #oceanfervor #magical.wildlife #sharkeducation #masterreefguides #southerngreatbarrierreef #underwater_is_life #oceanxplore (at Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG1RYDig6sb/?igshid=1qsg02rocc0es

Just chillin..😎😎 ––——––——––——||––——––——––—— 🔘 #SavingtheWaves ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Seaturtles spend most of the year foraging in shallow waters, where they feed on #seagrass meadows during the day and afterwards return to slightly deeper waters to rest at sunset. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shallow waters and bright sunshine (which warms the water) also prompted sea turtles to rest for a while during daylight hours, perhaps to conserve energy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Turtles rest for around 11 hours per day, during which they use just half the amount of oxygen used during foraging. Turtles also dive for longer and consumed slightly less oxygen during the winter when water temperatures are cooler. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Don’t Wait For Change, BE The Change - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸: @albert_sopher Via: @submerged_scientist - rp via @savingthewaves - 🌀 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp199svnhk2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h8kydtsj6g9q
