A new @PolicyPECH study on πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³'s 🎣 fleet reviews its global operations, notably in πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡³πŸ‡²πŸ‡·πŸ‡²πŸ‡¬πŸ‡²πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¨πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡§, and the challenges it poses to competing πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί fleets.

The study sets the tone for a forthcoming @Europarl_EN report on the impacts of πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³'s fleet on πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸŽ£.

.@PolicyPECH highlights that πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³'s fleet - the world's biggest - operates globally and drives #overfishing, environmental destruction & human rights abuse.

The fleet profits unfairly from illegality, a lack of transparency & data gaps as our report shows:

.@PolicyPech reports that the πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί can encourage πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ towards regulating its fleet.

But this is possible only if the πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί@EU_Mare can lead by example and be credible when it promotes #transparency.

We've learned more about #whalesharks in the last decade than all the preceding years combined, so by way of #DecadeinReview, here's my take on some of the key developments (a thread)
A quick squizz at #GoogleScholar shows 1,690 entries for Rhincodon typus (the scientific name of whale shark) before 2010, and 3,800 entries since. I know there's a big date bias in GS, but little doubt that it's been a huge decade for WS #science
One of the Big Things that emerged was the phenomenon of whale shark *aggregations*, or as we like to think of them, *constellations*. The biggest known to science, >400 animals at once, was described in 2011 journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
