Fisheries & Conservation Policy PROGRAMME

Unsustainable fishing pressure and trade are driving manta and devil ray populations around the world ever closer to extinction. To conserve these species, we need effective policy and legislation that is enforced locally, regionally, and internationally.

Our Fisheries and Conservation Policy team takes a multifaceted approach to conserving these threatened species; from working with governments on national legislations and international conventions, conducting and publishing peer-reviewed research, or working with fishers to reduce bycatch.
