Governments worldwide came together to pass every single shark and ray proposal—the most comprehensive protections in CITES history. From banning trade in oceanic whitetip sharks, manta rays, and whale sharks, to regulating gulper and smoothhound sharks, this victory gives these species a fighting chance against extinction.

With over 37% of shark and ray species threatened, today’s decision is a powerful step toward balance and hope for our seas.

Let’s celebrate this moment and keep pushing for swift implementation—because the ocean needs its guardians.

Upside-down jellyfish (Cassiopea) flip the script on typical jellyfish behavior. They rest on the seafloor with tentacles facing upward to maximize sunlight exposure. This light fuels the symbiotic algae in their tissues, providing energy through photosynthesis. A fascinating example of marine adaptation and cooperation!
