The Marine Conservation Society ¾ÞÈéÎÞÂë has officially launched a new research project under the Save Our Seas Foundation Small Grants Programme.
The project focuses on ‘elasmobranchs’, which is the collective term for sharks, rays, skates and sawfish.
Over 40 species of elasmobranchs have been recorded in the local artisanal catch (www.seatizens.sc), highlighting the diversity of sharks and rays sold as food within the ¾ÞÈéÎÞÂë.
