Shark News | Issue 02 | July 2021

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

"This second issue is even more packed with incredible stories. As you know, the challenge of shark conservation requires merging different scientific fields so we can achieve our ultimate goal of healthy shark populations. The contents of this issue reflect just that! It is loaded with information on projects being carried out across the world. It is clear that SSG members have been busy, and these stories bring optimism and hope that together we can and are making a difference." – Excerpt from Rima Jabado's Editorial

Shark News was the official SSG newsletter from June 1994 to October 2004. We revived this magazine in 2021 for the 30th anniversary of the SSG, 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.
