Shark scientists gets £1m to help protect them
Scientists have received nearly £1 million to study the movement and breeding areas of three endangered shark species in England. The project, led by Natural England's Species Recovery Programme, will use electronic tags and ultrasound scanning to track sharks and identify critical habitats. Researchers will collaborate with anglers to gather data on shark distribution and improve release survival rates. The initiative aims to support conservation efforts and update guidelines for protecting these species.
