[ENWL]

            We're killing off sharks. Without them, the oceans may not survive.

                  Sharks are one of the most iconic creatures associated with the open waters of the ocean. People all over the world experience awe, wonder, and excitement when thinking about these ancient, prehistoric animals. But also all over the world, these ecologically-vital predators are dying out. Just last month, researchers discovered a terrifying trend: the number of sharks alive in the wild has plummed 71% over the past 50 years. This means that only three out of every 10 sharks we might otherwise expect to see in the world are still around. And one of the huge reasons for this mass die-off is international shark fishing. 

                  Also in the past 50 years, the fishing of sharks has surged 300%, and is still very much legal in many parts of the globe. That includes Australia, where it's still legal to kill some of the most threatened and endangered species, including scalloped hammerheads and great whites. Many people think it's okay if sharks die off because they're seen as scary, attack-prone creatures. But even as human populations grow and huge increases of people go sea-bathing, shark attacks have actually declined each year. It's time for government leaders to stand up and help save these precious creatures. Sign the petition urging Australian lawmakers and Prime Minister Scott Morrison to pass legislation immediately banning all shark-fishing, and creating strong new programs to help conserve the sharks that remain!

                  P.S. Without sharks, our ocean ecosystems will be thrown into chaos. Tell the Australian government to help save the sharks now, before it's too late!
