80% of mangroves are now shrimp farms aka methane factories 🦐

OK with that ridiculous number you got me to finally read about eels.
Shit, 98% reduction in European Eel numbers since the 70s?? Damn industrialisation.

But indeed very interesting animals! Did they catch those 10000 during migration? Or were they so abundant that they were generally easy catch?

So what's that to do with silly memes and fun alt-text?

If I can tell a good story, & show our history with eels, then maybe I can get you interested in saving them.

I hope seeing them in our past will make you want to see them in our future. 2/2
