🚨 Almost two-thirds of sharks and rays that live around the world’s coral reefs are threatened with extinction. The main cause is overfishing.

#ReefSharkRayStatus published in @NatureComms finds that #overfishing has led to almost TWO-THIRDS of #CoralReef sharks and rays are threatened with extinction: https://t.co/GX6AD5PaSj

New #SharksAndRays paper published in @NatureComms and funded by the #SharkConservationFund finds that nearly 2/3 of #CoralReef sharks and rays🦈 are threatened with #extinction, calling for immediate conservation action: https://t.co/Cmy4ffEuVu #GlobalSharkTrends #SharkScience
Urgent action is needed to halt and reverse the declines of #CoralReef sharks and rays:
➡️ Improved #FisheriesManagement
➡️ Alternative livelihoods for subsistence fishers
➡️ Proper implementation of trade controls
#CITES #ReefSharksAtRisk #ReefRaysAtRisk #BiodiversityLoss
At least three-quarters of sharks and rays are threatened in OVER 50% of their mapped areas.
➡️ Sharks - ¾ threatened in 55% of mapped area
➡️ Rays - ¾ threatened in 88% of mapped area

Regions with high coastal fishing pressure have the highest percentage of #ThreatenedSpecies of sharks and rays.
Areas in all oceans have some locations where 100% of coral reef species are threatened.

Coral reefs occur in the heavily fished tropics, exploited by artisanal and commercial fishers. The proximity of the reefs to coastal communities provides easy access for fishers.
#Overfishing #BiodiversityLoss #ReefSharksAtRisk #ReefRaysAtRisk
We find that of 134 coral-reef associated sharks and rays, nearly two-thirds (59%) are threatened with extinction:
Rays were more threatened than sharks
➡️ Rays: 64% threatened
➡️ Sharks: 53% threatened

@NatureComms @SammSherman27 @SharkColin @NickDulvy 🌊surface temperature, primary production and national catch of reef-associated species were the most important variables that explain #extinction risk.
Urgent action is needed to halt and reserve the declines of #CoralReef #SharksAndRays! #CITES #ReefSharksAtRisk #ReefRaysAtRisk
@NatureComms @SammSherman27 @SharkColin @NickDulvy found that of 134 #CoralReef #SharksAndRays (59%) are threatened with extinction, making them the most threatened group in the world, and rays were more threatened than sharks! https://t.co/VPaOxnA6zB #ReefSharksAtRisk #ReefRaysAtRisk
