Τhe environmental organization iSea, which implements the program “supporting the protection of the angel sharks in the southern Aegean” has drawn up a plan for the protection of the species, a shark which belongs to one of the most endangered groups of sharks in the world, with the support of Shark Conservation Fund, ANA reports.
According to the organization’s announcement, “three species of sharks are found in the Mediterranean and their populations were described as crucially endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, due to the rapid decline of their population and their local disappearance in several parts of the Mediterranean. The biggest threats for the angel sharks are the by-catches and the overall downgrading of their habitat.
“We call on those who have seen angel sharks even in fish shops, to contact us at Facebook or by sending an email at info@isea.com.gr the announcement said.
