Incredibly Destructive Shallow Longline Fishing in the Pacific Ocean
- "Using data supplied by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, we recently reported that shallow longline fishing captures and kills about 4.4 million sharks, seabirds, billfish, marine mammals and sea turtles each year in the Pacific Ocean. Sharks make up more than two-thirds of this total." - excerpt from the Sea Turtle Restoration Project, http://www.seaturtles.org.
