‘We have really cool sharks’: three-year project to lift lid on Britain’s little-understood species
A three-year project in Britain aims to study three vulnerable shark species using data from anglers, historical records, and tracking technology. The goal is to improve understanding and conservation efforts for sharks in British waters. Over 40 shark species live in these waters, but much remains unknown about them.
Scientists are launching a project to study porbeagle, tope, and blue sharks in Britain using data from anglers and historical records. They will track the sharks' movements and population changes.
The project helps protect vulnerable shark species and improves knowledge about marine ecosystems. It supports better conservation strategies and public awareness.
The project involves local communities and uses existing data to build a clearer picture of shark life, showing how collaboration can lead to meaningful environmental insights.
