We are starting to see years of shark conservation effort come to fruition and there are tentative signs of recovery in some populations. At the same time, we are experiencing ever-larger numbers of people living by and using the sea. As we move forward, we need to consider how we can manage the positive effects of healthier shark populations with the potential for human-wildlife conflict in a marine sphere.

Paul, our CEO, will introduce this new cross-disciplinary project which seeks to identify emerging issues and co-create equitable solutions with affected communities.
