Vaquita Porpoise Necklace

Vaquita Porpoise Necklace

A handmade Vaquita pendant, intended as a conversation starter, a reminder, a "seed planter".

The vaquita is the world's most endangered marine animal, found only in Mexico’s northern Gulf of California. Marine biologists estimate that only around ten of the animals remain, with the main threat being caught as bycatch in fishing nets.

Industrial fishing is not just a major threat to the delicate marine ecosystemto but also contributes to climate disasters (significant amounts of carbon dioxide are released through trawling and a huge amount of fossil fuels being burnt for running these massive ships), plus certain fish and mammals disappearing from the food chain will destroy the ). Up to 2.3 trillion(!) fish are being caught every year and around 300,000 whales, sharks and dolphins are injured or killed in the process.

Our little vaquita pendant is made from 100% recycled gold or silver and comes in plastic free packaging.
