We’re super excited about this JAWesome new phase! 🦈💪🪸
With reef shark populations in crisis, Mote and partners from across the globe 🌎 are updating the groundbreaking shark survey, @globalfinprint, and applying their findings to design new marine protected areas (MPAs)! With support from @PGAFamilyFdn, we’re able to build on the

New paper: Fully protected areas that are large and cover whole reefs provide conservation benefits for reef sharks🦈 Benefits DOUBLE when embedded within areas of effective fisheries management‼️ This "mixed management" approach boosts global conservation of elasmobranchs🦈

The @globalfinprint study found populations of #sharks & rays on Australian coral reefs are faring better than the same species on reefs where there is less protection from fishing. Learn more: https://t.co/DK7iesptkQ Study led by @SharkColin & supported by @PGAFamilyFdn
