Sharks and rays are more vulnerable than we thought with 2.5 MILLION animals accidentally netted by fisheries each year in the south west Indian
Coastie Patriot User ID: 1567170 United States 04/16/2019 08:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Sharks and rays are more vulnerable than we thought with 2.5 MILLION animals accidentally netted by fisheries each year in the south west Indian Experts studied output from small fisheries in Kenya, Madagascar and Zanzibar •The unintentional catch of sharks and rays is far greater than is reported •Sea turtles and a vulnerable so-called 'sea cow' were also accidentally netted •Researchers calculate that accidental catch is 73 per cent higher than reported •This equates to 35,000 tonnes of accidentally-ensnared animals each year •Accurate catch data is key to assessing the ecological impact of small fisheries Sharks and rays are more vulnerable to getting caught by small fisheries than was thought, with 2.5 million netted on the East African coast annually, researchers say. The researchers found that unintended catch rates could be 73 per cent greater than what is actually reported — and includes species like turtles and sea cows. Getting a correct assessment of accidental catch is key to understand the ecological impact of small-scale fishing operations and to protect vulnerable species Fishers deploy thousands of miles of netting and line in the world's oceans everyday. It is inevitable that these nets will ensnare not only the fish they were lain out for but also other species as well. It is thought that as much as 40 per cent of all catch taken worldwide is caught unintentionally. This so-called bycatch can include vulnerable species such as dolphins, seabirds, sharks and turtles [link to www.dailymail.co.uk (secure)] Coastie Patriot SIC SEMPER TYRRANIS THE SAME PEOPLE WHO SAID NO GUNS BECAUSE OF POLICE NOW WANT TO DEFUND THE POLICE!!!!

I have a picture of a 7 ft reef shark right pectoral fin touching my left arm... I am not afraid of sharks. My dream is to go to Guadalupe off Baja and dive with the great whites!!!
