Shark fact:
Most sharks are caught by fisherman in search of other fish (bycatch). Their valuable fins are cut off to make soup, and the live shark thrown back to die.

What the European Elasmobranch Association is doing to help
The Association was set up in 1996 as a non-profit body to co-ordinate the activities of all European organisations dedicated to the study or conservation of sharks and rays. It seeks to advance research, sustainable management, conservation and education throughout the region, by promoting action on the above priorities. The Shark Trust supports the work of the Association in the UK.
Please help support our work by taking out a subscription to the Shark Trust.
You will then receive a regular newsletter, full of information and news on shark and ray conservation issues in Europe and world-wide, and invitations to attend regular meetings of the Shark Trust and the European Elasmobranch Association. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you are among the first subscribers to this important new conservation initiative.
