Happy International #AngelSharkDay! 🦈 Today we celebrate the family Squatinidae, the angel sharks! Amongst the most threatened families of elasmobranchs in the world, we work with our partners in the Angel Shark Conservation Network to profile & better protect them. 📸LM Estévez

We aim to make sure that national legislation for angel sharks is established, implemented & enforced. In February we attended Fish Forum in Türkiye, engaging with GFCM officials and showcasing the breadth of flat shark conservation work across the Mediterranean. #AngelSharkDay🦈

🦈Happy International #AngelSharkDay ! Did you know that Wales is home to the critically endangered angelshark (Squatina squatina)? Once thought to have disappeared from our coast -over recent years sightings have increased, confirming there's still an important population here🙌

Did you know that the respiratory mode is a camouflage strategy of benthic elasmobranch? The discrete breathing of the angel shark, restricted to the gill flaps on the ventral side, may have evolved to avoid detection by prey and predators that use hydrodynamic stimuli

Helped our Angel Shark Project colleagues carry out a #CSIOfTheSea dissection workshop last week on two Welsh stranded angelsharks. Much valuable data and samples collected- and some filming conducted for the team too!

Last week, we survey the largest angelshark nursery, Las Teresitas, thanks to Fundación Santa Cruz Sostenible & Cepsa. 🦈 Recaptured a few pups, showing they stay for over a year. Las Teresitas offers shelter & food!

A few days ago, we carried out a field campaign in the south of Lanzarote with @rubicondiving to acoustically tag two angelsharks. These studies will help us better understand how angelshark populations use the Lobos corridor and, in turn, improve their protection.
