SAVING SAWFISH & SPEARTOOTH SHARKS 🦈

#NorthernTerritory (NT) waters make up the last global stronghold for endangered #sawfish and one of the world's rarest shark species, the #RiverShark. Four of the world's five sawfish species and two of the world's five river shark species call NT waters home.

Right now, sawfish and river sharks are not protected from commercial #gillnets in their #CriticalHabitat along the coastlines of major river systems in the NT.

Incredibly sad loss of life, but Im always going to be against nets in ecosystems for the benefit of humans over the native fauna.
