On The Brink
@onthebrinksa.bsky.social
South African campaign aimed at highlighting the importance and value of new shark and ray sanctuary areas in our ocean.
The Pufadder shyshark and the Twineye skate are two Endangered species that are found in South Africa’s waters and nowhere else in the world.
This means that if we do not protect them in our waters, we could be directly responsible for their extinction.

By not increasing protection for our oceans, we risk a biodiversity crisis, ocean collapse and a subsequent economic catastrophe.

The #HighSeasTreaty is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to establish MPAs, ensure sustainable ocean management, & safeguard the future of life on Earth.
It’s time to make history. Governments must ratify the High Seas Treaty to restore & protect the ocean.

South Africa’s oceans are home to approximately 200 different species of sharks & rays, making it one of the most diverse shark & ray populations on the planet.
This #WorldWildlifeDay, we celebrate this but also recognise that it comes with a great responsibility to do what we can to protect them.

For the first time researchers have witnessed whale shark pre-mating behaviour in the wild which could reveal critical clues about how the species reproduces.
The existence of these records further opens the door for whale shark conservation efforts.
