The global status of leopard sharks (Stegostoma tigrinum) was recently assessed by the @IUCNRedList in 2023 & the latest update published just several days ago. The species remains #Endangered (EN) based on the A2bcd criteria.

Hey Australian shark scientists, does anyone recognize these dart tags? Just found by a fish processor on a spinner (green) and tiger (yellow) shark. They are not ours (at least from my time in WA), could they be from the east coast? @SharkColin what do you think?

Together with our Indonesian partners at the Protection Initiation Workshop organized by @kkpgoid & @KonservasiID, & with the StAR Project serving as a catalyst, we’re proud to have taken the first significant step in getting leopard sharks protected at a national level. 💪🏽🦈🇮🇩

This Friday (July 14th) is #SharkAwarenessDay , and this year we're focusing on the #RhinoRay (Sawfish, Guitarfish, Wedgefish, and Banjo Rays).
They're some of the most threatened fish that many have never heard of, so join us for a day of celebration and awareness-raising!
🥺😍💙
Obscure shark 5: Angular Roughshark (Oxynotus centrina), AKA Chonk Shark, AKA Mr. Chonkasaurus. Count Chonkula challenges the idea of how a shark is "supposed" to be shaped. LOOK AT HIM! #DiverseSharks
