Fishers' interactions with endangered “rhinorays” in Karimunjawa National Park, and factors influencing willingness to engage in pro‐conservation behavior

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The “rhinorays” (giant guitarfish‐Glaucostegidae and wedgefish‐Rhinidae) are a critically endangered group of “shark‐like rays,” which have experienced steep global population declines in the past decade due to overfishing.
