💬: @4ocean Eagle Rays: Naturally Rare and Getting Rarer Spotted eagle rays are considered a near-threatened species by the IUCN because their populations are declining globally. While eagle rays are often captured accidentally as bycatch, they are targeted in some areas for use in nutritional supplements and alternative medicines. They’re also a popular specimen in public aquariums. Additional threats include noise, chemical, and physical pollution as well as habitat degradation, decreased food availability due to overfishing and acidification, and climate change. 🎥: @jacintashackleton #savetheseaturtles #seaturtles #yerbamateandsharks #sharkcafe #tagiti #frenchpoynsia #romantic #cheers #drinks #watchingsharks #sharkwedding #sharklove #lovesharks #sharkcage #cafe #oneocean #oneoceandiving #oneoceanresearch #oneoceanconservation #oneoceaneducation #oneoceanglobal #savethesharks #savetheocean
