“This research is important for the conservation and Management of Sharks”: A proposed framework for ensuring that this is actually true

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.
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.

Integrating Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Remote Sensing Reveals Known and Novel Fish Diversity Hotspots in a World Heritage Area

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
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

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2431-2447, October 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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

Preliminary assessment of the ecological sustainability of a data‐limited small‐scale shark fishery in India

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 2023-2035, September 2025.
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]

open access: yes, 1994
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.
