Ocearch is getting a lot of press and has been appearing on a lot of general news programs -- hopefully that helps get the word out and put the pressure on!

The United States will support proposals at CoP16 to restrict unsustainable levels of international trade on manta rays and five shark species--porbeagle, scalloped hammerhead, great hammerhead, smooth hammerhead, and oceanic whitetip. Populations of the five shark species are declining because of demand for fins for food products such as soup and medicine, while manta rays are being overharvested to meet demand for their gill plates.
