Our new paper profiles the threat of targeted fish maw fisheries to sharks, rays, and cetaceans. 1. maw is facilitating landing and trade of CITES listed species. 2.

Following the incidental introduction of tilapia, fishers and market vendors in PNG's Kikori River generally see tilapia as an easily caught and sellable fish with high palatability compared to native species. Time will tell if these perceptions are up held link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Thanks to Synchronicity Earth & Save Our Seas Foundation, our sawfish conservation efforts in PNG are ramping up. Along with our children's book sawfishbook.org, we're handing out shirts and hats. Aiming to create awareness and start a dialogue with fishers... their actions could prevent extinction
