Bycatch was
all the other marine life caught while trying to catch
a target species. And I was shocked to learn
that every year, at least 50 million sharks
are caught in nets this way, side by side with our favorite seafood. Studies estimate that up to 40%
of all marine life caught gets thrown right back overboard
as bycatch, and most of them die
before they even hit the water. So stopping shark fin soup
is only half the picture
