Cover Story (view full-size image):
Angel sharks are one of the most critically endangered families of elasmobranchs. A directed study involving outreach and education for small-scale fishers in Turkey has uncovered 80 records of angel sharks in Turkish coastal waters. Additionally, three potential Critical Angel Shark Areas (CASAs) have been identified based on their spawning and feeding grounds. These data may be used for improved regional conservation to aid their recovery, as they have suffered considerable range restriction in the Mediterranean in recent decades. This collaboration between science and fishers enhances our understanding of these majestic, seafloor-inhabiting sharks, which are particularly vulnerable to fishing gear entanglement.
