Many scientists want their research to inform policy and help manage endangered species, but many common research practices hinder potential policy relevance. The results of our survey provide advice that can help. Abstract Sharks and their relatives are ecologically important animals that face serious conservation challenges.

ABSTRACT Aim Shark Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Western Australia, is highly vulnerable to climate change, yet its fish biodiversity remains poorly understood at fine spatial scales. We integrated environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with high‐resolution remote sensing to assess and extrapolate fish diversity patterns, providing a scalable ...

DNA Divers: Volunteer‐based eDNA capture for local and global marine biodiversity monitoring
Abstract Volunteer‐based biodiversity recording is a powerful source of scalable data yet to be used to its full potential by the scientific community. Coastal ecosystems are varied and diverse, making it difficult for managers to identify flexible methods for monitoring biological components.

Temporal and Spatial Distribution of Finfish Bycatch in the U.S. Atlantic Bottom Longline Shark Fishery [PDF]
Bycatch in U.S. fisheries has become an increasingly important issue to both fisheries managers and the public, owing to the wide range of marine resources that can be involved. From 2002 to 2006, the Commercial Shark Fishery Observer Program (CSFOP) and

We explored the ecological sustainability of an extremely data‐limited, small‐scale fishery for blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus limbatus) in Goa, India. We used an adapted expert elicitation approach, modified to suit local fishing communities, to collect data on shark catch, and develop exploratory population models. Our models revealed that the current

Habitat use and movement patterns of juvenile and neonate blacktip sherks, Carcharhinus limbatus in nursery areas on San Cristobal Island, Galápagos. [PDF]
Short-term movements and habitat preference of juvenile blacktip sharks were studied in nursery areas on San Cristóbal Island, Galapagos. We actively tracked a total of 8 individual sharks.

Zero‐shot shark tracking and biometrics from aerial imagery
Abstract The recent widespread adoption of drones for studying marine animals provides opportunities for deriving biological information from aerial imagery. The large scale of imagery data acquired from drones is well suited for machine learning (ML) analysis.

A Review of Shark Control in Hawaii with Recommendations for Future Research [PDF]
In an attempt to allay public fears and to reduce the risk of shark attack, the state government of Hawaii spent over $300,000 on shark control programs between 1959 and 1976.
