Great! ... Please big funding groups take notice to prioritise $ where most needed, like basic life history of non-sexy but data poor sharks and rays...for example, in our recent assessment, i had to borrow data from related species to provide management advice on stock status of several species 😢
I am excited to share with you a new paper, probably my last of 2025. @drcatmac.bsky.social is a coauthor.
Our paper presents advice for early career shark scientists who want their work to be useful for conservation and management policy.

“This research is important for the conservation and Management of Sharks”: A proposed framework for ensuring that this is actually true
Many scientists want their research to inform policy and help manage endangered species, but many common research practices hinder potential policy relevance. The results of our survey provide advice...

A Global Synthesis of Population Demographic Models in Sharks and Rays
Demographic models are vital tools in fisheries management, particularly for data-limited species such as sharks and rays. However, a significant gap exists in the statistical quantification of produ....
