Irish Basking Shark Group

We recently contributed to the European Atlantic regional compendium of Important shark and ray areas for the IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group, which listed several areas off the coast of Ireland as valuable for the conservation of basking sharks.
However, progress has been made identifying Key Biodiversity areas, including Important Shark and Ray Areas in support of the conservation of migratory species.
The Interim Report on the State of the World’s Migratory Species was just released for #COP15 of CMS. The report highlights the unfortunate fact that sharks and rays have had a dramatic increase in extinction risk in recent decades.
