​«The Shark and Ray Recovery Initiative (SARRI) and Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) are two different projects with strong synergy and opportunities to achieve more.» 

The IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group (SSG) hosted a first Global Report Writing workshop on Tuesday 18th, and Wednesday 19th of October, on the sidelines of the Sharks International 2022 conference in Valencia, Spain. This allowed to bring together contributors and members from around the world to work together and receive nation/region-specific input as they work towards developing a new roadmap for future policy and research actions for sharks, rays, and chimaeras.

​We want to invite you to discover the seventh issue of Shark News – the official IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Shark Specialist Group (SSG) magazine.
 
Shark News provides a forum for the exchange of information on all aspects of shark, ray, and chimaera conservation matters for SSG members and the general interested audience.
