你們知道台灣海域有很多大白鯊嗎? 🦈 (請向右滑)照片中看到的大白鯊都是在台灣補到的也是世界目前被捕殺到體型最大之一⋯
每年全球有 1 億條鯊魚被獵殺，台灣只有兩千三百萬人口卻被列為全世界四大捕殺地區之一。
我想透過 @empireaqua 來提高人們保護及保存鯊魚的重要性，台灣是一個美麗的島四面環海，周遭有許多很特別的海洋生物，但很少人知道，鯊魚在海洋生態系統中扮演非常重要的角色，少了鯊魚會導致生態系統失衡海洋生物退化，台灣在2020修正「大白鯊象鮫及巨口鯊漁獲管制措施」，這只是一個開始，但還是有非常多的漏洞，每天仍在屠殺大量的鯊魚，我想要此做些事情，這會有非常多的爭議，但我認為透過教育年輕一代需要更加了解海洋生態對地球的影響，這是我們的責任，年輕的一代是未來
Did you know there are a lot of Great White Sharks in Taiwan? Swipe to see some of the biggest recorded great white sharks ever caught by fishing vessels and fishing nets in the world, and these were all in Taiwan. Roughly 100 million sharks are caught and killed a year globally. For only 23 million people on the island, Taiwan is ranked top 4 in the world for the amount of sharks killed per year. This is tragic.
Through Empire Aqua I want to bring more awareness and education on the importance of saving and protecting Sharks in the ocean, in particular Taiwan. Taiwan is a beautiful island and has extraordinary marine life around it, and not many people know this. Sharks are an essential and integral part of the entire marine eco system. Without them, there will be an unbalance and bring degradation to marine life. In 2020 Taiwan passed laws protecting Great White Sharks and a few other rare shark breeds. It’s a good start, but there’s still too many loopholes in these laws, and tons of sharks are still being slaughtered daily. I want to do something about this, and I want to find the right way with the right balance without stepping on too many toes. I know this will be a controversial journey, but I think the younger generation needs to be more aware and needs to be educated on the state of the marine life and how it affects the planet and each one of us. This is our responsibility now and the younger generation is the future.
