He did it! 50 years after the iconic movie Jaws was released, @lewispugh.bsky.social has completed #TheSharkSwim around the island of Martha’s Vineyard. We at @unep.org are very grateful for all Lewis does as UNEP Patron of the Oceans to champion greater conservation efforts to #SaveOurOceans.

Isn’t it extraordinary that a species as iconic as the whale shark still isn’t fully protected? 🐟👇 At the CITES COP20 this Nov, countries will vote on a proposal to upgrade oceanic white tip sharks, whale sharks, and some manta rays to Appendix I, the highest level of international protection. 1/2

Sharks keep the ocean healthy, but only 2% of Marine Protected Areas include shark-specific protections. That’s not good enough. We need to do better. For 30x30. For sharks. For the ocean 🌊🌍🦈 📸: Anita Kainrath

Lewis Pugh is officially halfway through #TheSharkSwim 🏊‍♂️🦈👇 The last few days have been unrelenting, due to several factors: icy water, the distance, strong currents, and big waves. 8 days in. 4 days to go.

"As a lifelong surfer and conservationist, I salute Lewis Pugh's #TheSharkSwim and his #30x30 efforts. Apex species like sharks not only signal the health of our oceans, they help maintain it. When sharks are at risk, so are we." - Carlos Manuel Rodriguez

Sharks regulate prey populations, maintain critical habitats, and cycle nutrients across ecosystems. Their presence is essential to the resilience and balance of our oceans, which in turn sustain life on Earth 🦈💙🌍 #TheSharkSwim #SharksBringLife
