— Shark Defenders (@sharkdefenders) September 11, 2014The listings of sharks and manta rays passed by the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) take effect this weekend. You can expect the many countries and environmental organizations who worked to pass these protections to bring much attention to the start of enforcement. You can follow the conversation on social media with the tag #Yay4SharksNRays. We'll post updates over the weekend as they come available.
