Important Shark and Ray Areas - a IUCN SSC SSG project Identifying critical habitats is key to the conservation and recovery of threatened species A third of chondrichthyans (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) are threatened with extinction but robust biological and ecological information to delineate critical habitats for many species remains limited
Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) Project - iucnssg. org The goal was to identify and delineate three-dimensional and discrete portions of habitat that are critical to the survival of sharks, rays, and chimaeras, and that have the potential to be managed for conservation
First map of Important Shark and Ray Areas released The ISRA project uses the best available science to identify regions across global waters most critical for the long term survival of sharks, rays, and chimaeras These include places where species of concern mate, reproduce, feed, rest, or aggregate as well as key stopovers during a migration
Important Shark and Ray Areas: a new tool to support area-based . . . This project aims to identify discrete, three-dimensional, portions of habitat that are critical to the survival of sharks, rays, and chimaeras around the globe, and that have the potential to be managed for conservation
Important Shark and Ray Areas - Wikipedia The definition of these ISRA criteria is of vital importance for the effectiveness of the tool in terms of its application, standardization and consistency across all identified areas, as well as to ensure comparability between ISRAs at national, regional, and international scales
Putting critical sites for sharks on the map - Save Our Seas Foundation An important step towards the global conservation of sharks, rays and chimaeras (for ease, we’ll refer to them as ‘sharks’ from now on!) is the identification of areas that are critical to the survival of these species
MMF’s Decades-Long Research Pivotal in Establishing New IUCN Important . . . ISRAs are selected based on comprehensive scientific data, emphasizing sites that have a particularly high biodiversity of sharks, rays, and chimaeras, as well as areas that are vital for breeding, feeding or other aspects of their life history
