As has been reported elsewhere before me, indeed it appears that the US position at CITES #CITESCop18 #COP18 #CITES4sharks is NOT to support the proposed listing of mako sharks on Appendix II. https://buff.ly/2Hg5p2x
There’s a pervasive, wrong idea that in global wildlife conservation issues, western democracies are always the good guys. Cough, Canada, cough. #CITEScop18 #cites4sharks
|COMMENTARY: Canada will throw endangered mako sharks overboard at global gathering...
(I won't be tweeting #VPDebate tonight. Already too much time on Twitter this week with #CITES4Sharks , and lots of work to do)
Wow! @CITES #CoP17 proposals 42 (silky sharks), 43 (thresher sharks), and 44 (devil rays) have all been approved in plenary! #CITES4sharks

Shark conservation at CITES COP16 http://sfy.co/fGKi #storify #cites4sharks #cites
The tally: 16 votes for a #CITES4sharks storify, 0 for not doing a #CITES4sharks storify. I guess I'll do one.
Followers: Please reply 1 or 2. 1: I would be very interested in reading a Storify of #CITES4sharks tweets. 2: Meh, not really.
In case you missed it last night, ALL of the shark, sawfish, and manta ray proposals were upheld during the CITES plenary! #CITES4sharks
Proposal 45 (freshwater sawfish) now adopted with no objections! It's now illegal to trade any sawfish internationally! #CITES4sharks
Fact- the first #shark I caught with @DrNeilHammer and the @rj_dunlap was a great hammerhead. It was on the 1st hook I set. #CITES4sharks
