90-Year Study Reveals Rich Shark and Ray Populations in Greek Waters

A new survey by environmental organization iSea has revealed the rich biodiversity of sharks and rays in Greek seas, compiling 4,540 records over the past 90 years. The study, which identifies 33 shark species, 29 species of rays, and one chimaera, highlights the importance of Greek waters for these species. The findings will be presented at the EUSA 2024 Conference in Thessaloniki, where experts will discuss ways to enhance marine conservation and expand interdisciplinary research, particularly in underrepresented regions like the Balkans and the Middle East.
