Fisheries Engagement
The primary threat to sharks and rays is, without doubt, the impacts of excessive and inadequately managed fisheries. So engagement with fisheries, driving the requirement for science-based sustainable management, is essential. Our UK and European fisheries work encompasses government consultation, policy engagement, fisheries monitoring, educational materials and direct support for implementation of legislation.
