This project will work at the CITES Committee level to trigger compliance action and build strong drivers for domestic action. At the domestic level, we will partner with governments and NGOs to establish national and local policy and conservation measures that manage or prohibit the catch in listed species, and establish new policies that regulate commercial trade in shark and ray products.
