has been on the front lines, defending marine life from illegal fishing and protecting endangered species. But they can’t do it alone.
If this image moved you, here’s how you can help:

- Avoid buying fish from large commercial retailers without sustainable sourcing
- Join beach cleanups or organize your own
- Share posts like this — every voice helps amplify the call
Let’s protect what’s left of our Earth paradise,
so we can all continue to witness these breathtaking creatures in the wild 🌊🌏
