UK Scientists to Tag 70 Sharks in 3-Year Study to Boost Conservation Efforts

A three-year research project will track 70 vulnerable sharks across British waters using electronic tags. The study focuses on three at-risk shark species and will monitor their movements and diving behaviours. Researchers will also analyse decades of historical distribution data collected from anglers. The combined approach is intended to deepen understanding of shark migration patterns and behaviour. Findings are expected to support more effective conservation strategies for these marine species.
