#DYK Fiji’s Dreketi river & estuary is an important pupping & nursery ground for 4 species of sharks and 3 species of ray! The need for strengthened awareness, data & a national action plan are needed to further protect these species! #ProtectOurSharks #WorldOceansDay

[WWF-Pacific @wwfpacific]

Science-based research allows more informed effective management decisions such as temporal closures & no-take tabu areas to protect elasmobranch species identified in the Fiji Dreketi river & estuary survey. #ProtectOurSharks #WorldOceansDay2021
