Extremely excited that we were able to contribute to this global effort from the Red Sea! Check out this thread from @globalfinprint for take-home messages and a link to the paper. Thanks to fellow @ReefEcologyLab members who helped me with surveys.@RSRC_KAUST @VulcanInc
Our first global analysis assessing the status of reef sharks is complete. 🎉🦈🌏 The good news? Conservation potential remains high - shark populations benefit from fisheries management, shark sanctuaries, and closed areas. [1/4]
