1 week ago we got back from the greatest Guadalupe adventure with @horizoncharters and the most fantastic bunch of shark divers! Somehow we all managed to coordinate this pic in teal and blue hah. To keep the excitement going, we are going to post each of our favorite parts of the trip, hope you enjoy! Ropey asserting a little bit of dominance by swimming parallel with another White Shark. She wanted the tuna heads all to herself! ⠀ ⠀ #RespectNotFear #StopTheFinTrade ⠀ ⠀ photo by Stefanie Brendl Repost from Shark Allies' @laurelirv⠀ ⠀ This is Ropey. She was tagged in Guadalupe in 2017 and already had a closed circle rope embedded in her body from when she was smaller. They cut the rope and opened the circle so she could grow into it a little more, but the rope was already so deep in some parts it created a black scar. Ropey hung out with us every single day we dove. Despite her weak tail and extremely skinny frame, she caught tuna, was always smiling and even breached once. We see sea turtles, dolphins, whales and seals stuck in fishing gear all the time, but it was even more heartbreaking to see an apex predator restricted because of us.⠀ ⠀ #RespectNotFear #StopTheFinTrade ⠀ ⠀ photos by @laurelirv one of the female Great Whites we saw in Guadalupe, she was super energetic and darting from side to side. If you know her name, comment!⠀ ⠀ #RespectNotFear #StopTheFinTrade⠀ ⠀ photo by Stefanie Brendl loungin' just waiting for some White Sharks in Guadalupe... blog about our adventure is up on the website!
We just got back from Guadalupe Island with @horizoncharters and @csulbsharklab ! Photos and blog post to come. We saw about 30 different sharks, 8 of which were tagged. What a spectacular crew, thrilling experience and beautiful island. We cannot wait to share with you what we learned about the White Shark ! photo by @laurelirv We are advancing our efforts to stop the trade of shark fins in FLORIDA. Your voice matters! Add your name to this declaration to show our policymakers that we want action taken against a trade that is devastating shark populations around the world.

Finally, LARGE SCALE DRIFTNETS WILL BE PHASED OUT IN CALIFORNIA.Ending the use of driftnets is the culmination of many years of work by many caring people. Now the governor needs to sign it! - go to this link to find out how to encourage the governor to sign ASAP #BanDeathNets⠀ https://www.sharkallies.com/ban-driftnets⠀ ⠀ From @turtleislandrestorationnetwork⠀ VICTORY! Today, SB 1017, the bill to protect ocean wildlife by transitioning California away from the use of driftnets, successfully cleared the California Assembly. The bill is very close to becoming law; the Senate is expected to approve amendments later this week, and then the bill heads to the governor. #BanDeathNets photo by @teamsharkwater Happy Whale Shark Day! ⠀ ⠀ Did you know that whale sharks, despite being filter feeders, have 3,000 tiny tiny teeth that they don’t even use to eat? ⠀ ⠀ Also, whale sharks are super slow fish. Instead of using their tails to propel forward, like a Great White, they swim by moving their bodies side to side. Super wiggly. ⠀ ⠀ photo credit unknown ⠀ #FinBanNow #BanDeathNets #WhaleSharkDay #InternationalWhaleSharkDay
