Good climate news to start your Monday! 🌊🦈 More than 70 shark and ray species just gained historic new protections under a global UN treaty. Nations agreed to ban or strictly regulate international trade in shark fins, meat, and other products, giving species like oceanic whitetip sharks, whale sharks, and manta rays a real chance at recovery. According to @InsideClimateNews, “This year, all proposed protections for sharks and rays were adopted, largely with unanimous support from CITES’ 185 member countries and the European Union.” This marks a major turning point for ocean conservation and the health of our marine ecosystems.
