🚨 28th September: Taiji Update 🐬❗️ Our investigator is on the ground in Taiji, bearing witness to the heartbreaking reality of dolphin captures and brutality. Approximately 10 bottlenose dolphins were stolen for the captive trade, and up to 10 were brutally slaughtered. Thankfully, the remaining 50+ were released and reunited with their families waiting outside the cove area. 🌟 This cruelty breaks our hearts, as we know it does yours too. But amidst the challenges, there is hope. This month, we've celebrated 26 blue cove days. Your vote can help us continue this work and fight to bring an end to the Taiji hunts for good. Vote now and help us secure a top 3 spot on My Giving Circle to protect dolphins and their environment. 🐬🌊 Link in bio. #VoteForDolphins #TaijiUpdate #ProtectOurMarineLife #ActionForDolphins

Meet Hannah Tait, the CEO of @actionfordolphins , and one of our members here at #theclustermelbourne. Action For Dolphins is a not-for-profit that advocates for the protection of dolphins and challenge practices that cause harm. Visit afd.org.au to learn more.

Today marks the heart-wrenching first red cove day of 2023 in Taiji. An entire pod of approx. 10 beautiful Risso's dolphins were brutally killed. This cruelty only fuels our commitment to fight harder than ever to end this. In late August, we submitted our appeal against the Taiji Fisheries Association. While we await the results of this appeal, we are doubling our efforts against the Taiji Fisheries Association, initiating further tests on dolphin meat and readying another complaint against it. Your support fuels this movement, putting "Dolphins Over Dollars". Let's channel our collective sorrow into action, turning this season into a beacon of hope and change.

A share in this grant can help spread awareness about this vital issue and persuade people to act responsibly and respectfully around marine life. 💪 Scientific Advocacy: We believe in science-backed solutions. This funding will help us advocate for the removal of deadly shark nets in line with scientific advice and persuade decision makers to back effective measures, benefitting beach-goers and marine life. 🌍 Preserving Their Habitat: Our work extends to protecting dolphins' ocean home. Your vote contributes to initiatives aimed at conserving marine environments. 🌊 Education & Awareness: We strive to educate and inspire change. Your vote could lead to funding for outreach programs that empower individuals to take action for dolphins. Please vote for us to share in a $90,000 grant via our link in bio.

Today, shark nets return to NSW beaches, ignoring scientific advice and community pleas. These nets are redundant for protecting people and are a death sentence for marine life. 🐢🐬🦈  👉 Join the fight to retire these nets FOR GOOD. We’re on a mission to hit 20k signatures on the parliamentary petition—let’s make some noise. 🔗 Link in bio. 🙏 Despite today’s setbacks, we remain optimistic. Our mission is clear: Push the NSW Government to rely on scientifically proven methods for marine safety. Because it’s time to protect both marine life and ocean lovers. 🌊 #NetsOutNow #NetsNoMoreIn2024  #ProtectMarineLife #NSWBeaches #ScientificallyProvenSafety #BeTheChange #SaveOurSeas

Today is a difficult day for all of us who care about dolphins. The Taiji dolphin hunts have started again, marking a period of immense suffering for these intelligent and social creatures. Thankfully, today was a blue cove day but this season's quota is a total of 1,824 beautiful dolphins and small whales. We know it's tough, but let's not lose hope. This is the time to rally together, to intensify our efforts and to fight harder than ever before. We've made strides in the past and we can make an even bigger impact now. 🐬💙 Stay tuned for ways you can take action. Together, we can end the Taiji dolphin slaughter.✊ #TaijiDolphinHunt #StopTaiji #DolphinSlaughter #SaveTheDolphins #TaijiJapan

🐬 Appeal submitted against the Taiji Fisheries Association! 🐬 We’re more determined than ever to unravel the supply chain of dolphin meat from Taiji and put an end to the economic incentives driving the dolphin slaughter. Together, we can make waves of change. Read more in our blog post (link in bio). #SaveTaijisDolphins #DisruptTheTrade #StopTheToxicSale

At this morning's press conference we proudly stood with a cross section of MPs and marine conservation organisations calling on the NSW Government to retire shark nets. We collectively call on the NSW Government to rely on the scientifically supported shark mitigation measures already used widely and effectively across NSW's beaches. A modern and effective shark mitigation program does not include outdated shark nets - it's time for them to go for good. @seashepherdaustralia @hsiaustralia @greencate @adamcrouchmp @emma.hurst @jamesgriffinmp @alexgreenwich @john.ruddick #netsoutnow #make2023sharknetfree #marineconservation #dolphins

‼️ BREAKING NEWS: The NSW Government has confirmed that shark nets will return to NSW waters despite scientific advice and council consultations supporting otherwise.    What can you do? 🦈 If you’re in NSW, sign the parliamentary petition (link in bio). Once this reaches 20,000 signatures it will be lodged in parliament. 🦈 Not in NSW? Jump on and have your say on the poll in a recent nine news article (link in bio). Politicians read the news. Let’s show them that we do not want shark nets in the water.   This decision has been made despite the two scientific committees that oversee the use of shark nets in NSW calling for these destructive and ineffective nets to be replaced with the technology currently available in NSW. The majority of councils with these nets have just finished consultations, calling for this same decision.    We must transition to non-lethal alternatives that are actually supported by science to protect swimmers as well as our marine life. #netsoutnow
