Around the world, between 70 and 100 million sharks die each year through fishing, shark finning and shark mitigation programs.
12-15 million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean every year, killing one million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals.
Illegal fishing accounts for an estimated 11-26 million tons of the annual catch of fish globally.

If not for whaling, ship strikes, pollution and entanglement in fishing gear, some whales could live for over 200 years.
In 2 years, we collected 1,233,595 pieces of rubbish from our beaches in 279 beach clean-ups. 80% of these items were plastic.
For every pound of trawled shrimp, up to six pounds of "bycatch” is also captured, including turtles and dolphins.
