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
