2022 IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group's Annual Report

7/8/2023

 
Picture
We welcome you to explore further information about the IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group’s (SSG) work and results in 2022.

​It is available online on the SSC SSG’s portal
​«Annual progress in the implementation of the 2021-2025 Species Strategic Plan is documented in the SSC Species Report, which consists of a comprehensive description and analysis of the activities and results generated by the members of the SSC Network each year. Each SSC Group contributes to this document by providing a yearly summarised description of their achievements, which is presented in stand-alone reports. Includes the targets for which activities were conducted and results were generated during the reported year.
 
Projected impact 2021–2025
In 2021, the Shark Specialist Group (SSG) completed the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species assessments of all sharks, rays, and chimaeras and now know that 37% of species are threatened with extinction. Although we will need to continue with assessments for newly described species, our aim is to ensure the most threatened species get attention by developing conservation strategies and action plans, guiding policy intervention by providing expert input into the decision making process (especially at high-level international treaty level such as the Convention on the Conservation on Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES)), and communicating our work and results to a broad audience. We will develop new spatial planning tools to support delineation of Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) across the world’s ocean and ensure their uptake at various national, local and global levels. Finally, with increasing changes to the trade dynamics of shark and ray products, we will work to improve our understanding of global exports and imports of fins, meat, skins, liver oil and other products, to ensure sustainable use.»
