Very excited to be at #EEA2023 in Brighton this week to discuss all things shark, skate & ray. I’ll be presenting on how SIARC is using BRUVs to address data gaps as well as a tool to engage citizen scientists. ZSL Instant Wild The Shark Trust
Great first talk at #EEA2023 by James Thorburn - highlighting the importance of an angler-led MPA to protect flapper skate in Scotland. Community voices led design and development of the MPA and acoustic telemetry supported the information fishers provided. Fab collaboration 🦈
Great to see results of the Important Shark and Ray Areas - ISRAs IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group Important Shark and Ray Area process to date during #EEA2023 A huge collaborative process with 100s people involved - gathering data to delineate areas most important using specific criteria
Interesting first focal discussion facilitated by Angel Shark Project #EvaMeyers on spatial management of sharks: It covered global analyses to compare threats by Nicholas Dulvy ; regional initiatives as part of Important Shark and Ray Areas - ISRAs ; and local MPA development by James Thorburn #EEA2023
