LAMNA X Shark Trust: Tiburones y Rayas

After Sharks International 2022, which took place in Valencia (Spain), there were various discussions about how to better give value to the Spanish-speaking community working with elasmobranchs. The Shark Trust and LAMNA have been collaborating to establish a strategy which will help to strengthen this aspect of shark and ray conservation.

The project has three main principles.

-          Begin to break down and acknowledge barriers to non-native English speakers, and begin to tap into non-English language science for improved conservation of sharks and rays.

-          Generate a sense of community between Spanish-speaking shark scientists, conservationists, science communicators and advocates.

-        Share personal, professional and academic experiences about dedication to scientific research, conservation and communication of all things elasmobranchs.
