This is one of the clearest, most quantified marine biodiversity crises—with proven pathways to recovery.

A theory of shark and ray conservation change.

Structural drivers of shark and ray decline can be addressed through three types of measures that target trade and demand management, fisheries management, and
rehabilitation. These measures aim to achieve two medium-term goals of avoiding and minimizing fishing mortality, and restoring populations to promote species recovery.

What success looks like in 5–10 years

 • Fishing mortality aligned with species’ life histories

 •Species-level reporting becomes the norm

 • Management completeness rises above critical thresholds

  • Shark & ray populations stabilize and recover
