In the Gulf of California a small porpoise, the vaquita, which can only be found there, has been reduced to 15 animals. They are bycatch trapped in nets for an equally endangered fish, the totobua, captured for their bladders. Two British graphic design brothers were asked by the Sea Shepherd organization to create relevant silkscreen artwork. They decided to see the porpoise themselves, came to Mexico—and made this film for positive change. —KH

In Florida, anglers on beaches, piers, and bridges catch tens of thousands of sharks annually. Scientists have learned that, despite so-called safe “catch and release” fishing, the physiological stress of the fight kills many of them post-release, including critically endangered great hammerheads. Now they’re using this knowledge to educate and collaboratively engage recreational anglers and fishery regulators to save sharks from extinction. —MJS
