Sharks and rays are among the most threatened animals in the world. Nearly a third of these species face a high risk of extinction, and this number has doubled in recent years, creating an urgent conservation crisis. To combat this, we need to understand the specific factors driving their decline on both species and population levels. This knowledge is essential for developing effective strategies to protect these vital marine predators.
FIU faculty and researchers are dedicated to safeguarding these creatures, with their work in this area recently featured on CNN.
By supporting shark and ray conservation efforts at FIU, you will help identify which species need immediate protection and pinpoint where conservation efforts are most urgently needed. Your contribution will also bolster our international partnerships, ensuring the health of our oceans. Investing in high-quality scientific research and innovative projects is crucial for safeguarding sharks, rays, and their ecosystems.
