Juana Parada, gerente de la Organización de Palangreros Guardeses (
Orpagu). Es la nueva vuelta de tuerca que el Ministerio de Transición Ecológica ha dado en su cruzada para

Experts are calling for a retention ban by the EU to prevent to collapse of threatened shark populations.
A near-sharkless open ocean could soon be a reality, according to Nathan Pacoureau, a postdoctoral researcher in the Earth to Ocean Research Group at Simon Fraser University in Canada. Pacoureau and an international research team recently detected a 70% decline in shark and ray populations over the last 50 years. This study, published in
WASHINGTON, April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The shortfin mako shark is a step closer to listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) as the Biden Administration prepares for international negotiations on protecting the exceptionally depleted North Atlantic population. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) today announced its 90-day finding that a Defenders of Wildlife petition presents substantial information indicating ESA listing may be warranted. NMFS will commence a comprehensive status review at the same time that the agency considers its 2021 stance on a science-based international North Atlantic shortfin mako ban that has been stalled for years, due largely to U.S. opposition.
