Shark News | Issue 01 | April 2021

We want to invite you to discover the first issue of the official IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) Shark Specialist Group (SSG) newsletter.

Shark News was the official SSG newsletter from June 1994 to October 2004. We have now revived this magazine to provide a forum for exchanging information on all aspects of shark, ray, and chimaera conservation matters for SSG members and the general interested audience. Shark News has been reshaped into a modern quarterly magazine also to be used as an outreach and educational tool.

We want to thank the many contributors who have helped to shape the content of this first issue: Michelle Scott, Chelsea Stein, Jasmin Graham, Dean Grubbs, David Ebert, Marc Dando, Simon Weigmann, Andrea Kroetz, John Carlson, Daniel Fernando, Olivier Born, Muhammad Moazzam Khan, Fabrizio Serena, Monica Barone, Kennedy Osuka, Alexei Orlov, Nicholas Dulvy, Colin Simpfendorfer, and last but not least Rima Jabado, Michael Scholl and Peter Scholl for creating the newsletter.
