Keep Goliath groupers protected. The time is now to submit your comments to FWC to show your support. We should not allow for a limited number of the species to be fished. This is a slow growing species that is stilll recovering from the brink of extinction in Florida waters.

Goliath groupers still need your help! You can make sure they stay protected by submitting a comment [http://bit.ly/2vmpaB2] or attending a workshop [http://bit.ly/2hN6hkC]!

Congreso aprueba iniciativa de protección del Mar Pacífico Tropical

09/20/2017

Good news from Peru about the creation of the marine protected area Tropical Pacific Sea of Peru. Congress approves the initiative to protect the Tropical Pacific Sea of Peru. Efforts continue in Peru to push for the protection of the southernmost limit of the Eastern Tropical Pacific, a region rich in biodiversity and unique marine environment. This area is a Hope Spot, a magic place where whales, dolphins, sharks, sea turtles, manta rays, sea lions and a myriad of fish and invertebrates exist. Our organization Follow EGS in partnership with key Peruvian players, partners and many others have been advocating and engaging the government to give official protection to this unique area. We are not there yet, but we are getting closer.

As Florida recovers from the devastating effects of hurricane Irma, the clock continues to tick for Goliath groupers. Please take a few moments to watch this video to learn what you can do to protect this vulnerable species. I am glad I had the chance to chance to join my friends Deb Castellana and Joakim Odelberg in one of the fabulous dives with these gentle giants. Please help us protect them.

Great news. Whale sharks are now protected by law. It's about time but nevertheless these are great news.

La mejor noticia del 2017!! Perú ahora protege al tiburon ballena (Rhincodon typus). Se prohíbe su extracción, desembarque, transporte, retención, transformación y comercialización, si es capturado incidentalmente debe ser liberado sin ser dañado.

A compartir para que la norma se difunda!

Gracias a todos los que de una y otra manera ayudaron a esto ya sea colaborando con información, mostrando su interés o escribiendo la norma!!.
