Netiquette Sharkproject International

Netiquette der Facebook-Seite der Artenschutzorganisation Sharkproject International dient dem Austausch
aller Menschen, die sich für Haischutz, Umweltschutz und Tierrechte interessieren. Auf dieser Seite werden
Tierschutz-News aus aller Welt veröffentlicht, sowie unsere Arbeit vorgestellt und Möglichkeiten geboten,
sich aktiv für Haie einzusetzen, z.B. mi

t dem Unterschreiben von Petitionen oder der Teilnahme an diversen
Aktionen. Wir arbeiten bei Sharkproject alle ehrenamtlich, mit Liebe und Fleiß für den
Hai- und Meeresschutz. Es gibt einige Themen, bei denen die Meinungen auseinander gehen. Das führt
zu angeregten Diskussionen, die leider oft in Beleidigungen oder Provokationen enden. Uns ist wichtig,
dass Diskussionen sachlich und konstruktiv geführt werden und ein wertschätzendes Klima herrscht. Warnung - obwohl sich viele so benehmen – das Netz ist kein rechtsfreier Raum. Kommentare, die andere
beleidigen oder diffamieren, sind nicht nur aus moralischen Gesichtspunkten abzulehnen – sie sind auch
strafbar und du riskierst eine Klage! Achten wir gemeinsam darauf, dass hier ein höflicher und
wertschätzender Ton herrscht – dann macht Diskutieren mehr Freude, und die Ergebnisse werden
konstruktiv statt destruktiv. Wenn du einen Kommentar entdeckst, der gegen unsere Netiquette verstößt, schreib uns bitte eine PN. Worauf ist zu achten?
- Respektvoller Umgang: Auch wenn du einem Thema sehr emotional gegenüberstehst, ist es wichtig,
sachlich zu argumentieren. Denn niemand möchte beleidigt oder ausgegrenzt werden, unabhängig
welche Meinung er/sie/es hat.

- Reflektiere deinen Kommentar: Bitte lies dir deinen Kommentar vor dem Posten noch mal durch. Kann dein/e Diskussionspartner/in es eventuell falsch verstehen und beleidigt
werden? Wann greifen wir ein? Wir behalten uns vor, User/innen zu blockieren und deren Kommentare/Beiträge zu löschen, wenn:
- Inhalte gepostet werden, die andere persönlich angreifen, provozieren oder beschimpfen.
- beleidigende Unterstellungen gepostet werden, denen jegliche Grundlage fehlt (auch gegen
Sharkproject International).
- illegale, rassistische, sexistische, homo/transphobe, pornografische oder anderweitig diskriminierende
Inhalte gepostet werden.
- Aufforderungen zu Gewalt (verbalisiert oder als Bild/Emoji)
- bei wiederholtem Trollen, also dem wiederholten Kommentieren, das nur zur Provokation anderer
praktiziert wird und die eigentliche Diskussion torpediert. Don‘t feed the troll! Grundsätzlich bemühen wir uns, keine User/innen zu sperren, sondern sprechen eine Warnung aus und
bitten um Eigenverantwortung. Wenn wiederholt gegen die Netiquette verstoßen oder unsere Vermittlungsversuche ignoriert werden, behalten wir uns vor, den/die User/in auf der Seite zu sperren. In diesem Sinne wünschen wir Dir viel Spaß beim Kommentieren und Posten. Bei Fragen schick bitte eine
private Nachricht. Dankeschön.

No predator on earth fascinates us like the great white. And almost none is so badly misread.
For decades, the only way to meet one was from inside a cage. Then a handful of people changed that, and what they found was not a killing machine. It was an intelligent animal with deep blue eyes that swims towards you, looks at you, and works out exactly what you are. Those images rewrote the great white’s reputation for an entire generation.
But we humans tend to swing from one extreme to the other. In fifteen years we went from fearing this shark to hanging off its fin for the camera. And that is its own kind of misunderstanding. The golden rule exists for a reason: never touch a shark. Out of respect, because none of us would want a stranger grabbing us in our own living room. For safety. And because a single viral clip can teach millions that this is easy, when it is not.
The great white is neither monster nor pet. It is one of the ocean’s most impressive predators, and it deserves to be seen as exactly that. 💙
🎬 The new episode from Ocean Collective traces the whole history, from the first cage dives to the freedivers who tagged giants for science. Proud to support this work. Full episode, link in bio.

Off the granite coast of Brittany, a legend is hiding in the cold water.
The porbeagle is a close relative of the great white, and one of the rarest sharks in Europe. In fact, more people have travelled to space than have ever dived with one. It once ruled the North Sea. Today it is critically endangered.
Finding one is never guaranteed. This is wilderness, not an aquarium, so the team dives with a strict code of conduct, treats the whole habitat with respect, and waits. And the shark is only one part of a richer world: kelp forests, spider crabs, dolphins and grey seals, all thriving inside France’s oldest marine reserve.
What makes this work special is who gets to be part of it. Every photo of a fin, a scar or a marking helps identify an individual shark, so even a first-time diver can add a new animal to the dataset and become a scientist for a day. 💙

Behind every scientific paper are dozens of stories you’ll never read.

The failed hypotheses. The unexpected observations. The moment someone noticed something that didn’t fit.

Science is often portrayed as a collection of facts, but it’s really a process of connecting tiny pieces of evidence over years—or even decades. A single photograph of an unusually coloured shark might not seem important today. Years later, combined with genetic studies, ecological data and other sightings, it could help answer questions nobody knew to ask at the time.

That’s why documenting wildlife matters. Whether it’s a researcher, diver, fisher or photographer, every observation has the potential to become part of a much bigger story.

Sometimes the most important discovery isn’t finding an answer—it’s realizing you’ve been asking the wrong question.

A Sharkweek post thats not as serious :) This one is all about having fun while separating Hollywood fiction from shark fact.
From flying sharks to genetically engineered super-predators, filmmakers have given us some unforgettable shark movies. While they’re great entertainment, they’re not exactly marine biology textbooks.
The problem is that for many people, these films become their first introduction to sharks. Decades after Jaws was released, sharks are still often portrayed as villains rather than complex animals that play a vital role in healthy ocean ecosystems.
So we thought we’d rate some of Hollywood’s most famous shark movies, not on how entertaining they are, but on how accurately they portray real sharks. Some got surprisingly close… others, not so much.
After all, sharks don’t hold grudges, plan revenge, or fly through tornadoes (sorry, Sharknado). *film posters were recreated by us to respect copy right laws*

Every summer, shark sightings explode across European headlines. But the story we see is rarely the story that matters. When there’s a shark near a beach, it’s instant news, with dramatic pictures, videos that go viral, and reactions based on fear.

It’s not that sharks are “invading” coastlines; it’s just that modern technology is making it easier to see them. Similarly, the migration patterns of sharks are influenced by the changing ecosystems and climate change.

Each sighting is important for conservation, not because it indicates that shark populations are rebounding, but rather because it provides scientists with important information about populations that we still know surprisingly little about.

Shark populations were once abundant in the Mediterranean, but fishing pressure has caused a sharp decline in many species. Knowing where sharks migrate, why they do so, and how human activity is altering their environment are all important for shark protection.

27/07/2026

We are kicking off with a topic that lies close to our heart. The important role local communities play in establishing successful conservation projects. Shark conservation is not only about sharks. It is about people too.
Many coastal communities have depended on marine resources for generations. While shark populations are declining and urgent action is needed, understanding why fishing happens is essential for creating solutions that actually work.
The biggest drivers of shark exploitation are often international markets and economic pressure and not individual fishers trying to survive.
Local communities also hold some of the most valuable knowledge about changing oceans. In many regions, scientific data only covers recent decades, while fishers have observed changes across generations.
The most successful conservation projects don’t exclude people from nature. They work with them. One great example is Angola Elasmo Project, working together closely with the local communities allows them to make real change. Check out their page to learn more details about their incredible work. We as SHARKPROJECT are proud to support projects like this and see what incredible successes can be achieved with collaboration.
Protecting sharks also means protecting the people who share their ocean.💙.

The tiger shark carries a heavy nickname: “the garbage can of the ocean.”

It is one of the most misunderstood animals in the sea. Yes, tiger sharks are generalists, and scientists really have found strange things in their stomachs, from turtles to our own plastic. But reduce them to that, and you miss what makes them extraordinary.

They hold a hidden superpower, and a role that reaches far beyond the hunt. Lose the tiger shark, and the damage doesn’t stop at one species. It can ripple all the way to the seagrass meadows that store our carbon.

Because tiger sharks are disappearing. Fishing pressure, longlines and slow reproduction are pushing them out of our oceans. Protecting them protects the whole system, and us with it. 💙

🎬 In the new episode from Ocean Collective shark researcher .bwth reveals what that superpower is and why this shark matters. We are proud to support this work. Full episode, link in bio.

Today, on World Ocean Day, we celebrate the ocean that sustains life on Earth. From producing much of the oxygen we breathe to supporting biodiversity, livelihoods, and climate regulation, the ocean connects us all.

This year’s theme, “Reimagine”, invites us to rethink our relationship with the sea, and think of it not as a distant resource, but as a shared responsibility.
Together, we can help ensure a healthy ocean for future generations. 🌊

Scientists discover thousands of new species every year, and advances in genetics are revealing that some animals once thought to be the same species are actually distinct lineages. One recent example is Mobula yarae, a newly recognised manta ray species identified through years of research and genetic analysis.

These discoveries are more than just new names. They improve our understanding of evolution, biodiversity, and conservation, helping scientists better protect vulnerable marine life and the ecosystems they depend on.

The ocean remains one of Earth’s least explored environments and there is still much left to discover.

Tagging and recapture data are crucial for understanding shark migration and distribution. Shark tagging involves attaching small tags to sharks, enabling researchers to monitor their movements, growth, and behaviours.

The Cooperative Shark Tagging Program (CSTP), initiated by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center in 1962, has expanded to include over 7,000 volunteers who have tagged more than 295,000 sharks from over 50 species. This initiative has highlighted the importance of long-term ecological monitoring and the role of sharks in ocean ecosystems.

Various tagging methods, provide unique data on migration, population structure, habitat use, and species-specific survival and reproduction patterns. The information from tagging has assisted NOAA in defining essential fish habitats (EFH) for 38 federally managed shark species, which are vital for protecting nursery grounds and determining breeding and feeding areas.

The insights gained are foundational for effective stock assessments, bycatch reduction strategies, and seasonal closures to ensure long-term sustainability.
