As the one and only @LewisPugh starts his #TheSharkSwim, you may be surprised to know that annually 100 million sharks are killed globally for their meat, oil, cartilage, fins and for sport.
Sharks are key indicators of ocean health and their decline a great source of concern.
🏊‍♂️ BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🏊‍♂️

Today, I will begin a swim around the island where Jaws was filmed.

No one wants to witness plastic litter in green spaces, on their streets or washing up on their shores. No one person wants plastic particles in their bloodstreams or organs or their unborn babies. We need to put an end to plastic pollution. #BeatPlasticPollution #INC5
