The global status of leopard sharks (Stegostoma tigrinum) was recently assessed by the @IUCNRedList in 2023 & the latest update published just several days ago. The species remains #Endangered (EN) based on the A2bcd criteria.

Hey Australian shark scientists, does anyone recognize these dart tags? Just found by a fish processor on a spinner (green) and tiger (yellow) shark. They are not ours (at least from my time in WA), could they be from the east coast? @SharkColin what do you think?

[ReShark @resharkorg]

Together with our Indonesian partners at the Protection Initiation Workshop organized by @kkpgoid & @KonservasiID, & with the StAR Project serving as a catalyst, we’re proud to have taken the first significant step in getting leopard sharks protected at a national level. 💪🏽🦈🇮🇩

@WillWhiteSharks @CSIRO Haha wow was that the moment! That must have been SO exciting!!!

[IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group @IUCNShark]

This Friday (July 14th) is #SharkAwarenessDay , and this year we're focusing on the #RhinoRay (Sawfish, Guitarfish, Wedgefish, and Banjo Rays).

They're some of the most threatened fish that many have never heard of, so join us for a day of celebration and awareness-raising!

[Rebecca Bateman-John @Recesito]

@MalindiGammon @HounslowJenna @NatCapProject Congrats Malindi!

Obscure shark 5: Angular Roughshark (Oxynotus centrina), AKA Chonk Shark, AKA Mr. Chonkasaurus. Count Chonkula challenges the idea of how a shark is "supposed" to be shaped. LOOK AT HIM! #DiverseSharks

[ReShark @resharkorg]

We have some FIN-tastic news to share! We’re so ecstatic that StAR Program Manager Nesha Ichida is on the cover of @NGIndonesia, representing ReShark in the July issue! The issue will hit store shelves in Indonesia in the coming weeks.

[Rebecca Bateman-John @Recesito]

Amazing 😻🥺💙

[ReShark @resharkorg]

Nesha Ichida has helped build the ReShark program from the ground up. She’s helped construct the life support systems for the shark hatcheries, trained the aquarists, watched the first pups hatch and monitored their growth before releasing them into marine-protected waters.
