Sharken Up Your Skills
Want to find out more out our research, best practice guidelines and surveys? Or perhaps you’re keen to become a Shark Mates ambassador? Whatever the case, we’d love to hear from you.
Australians love spending their weekends catching fish from boats, shores and jetties. That enjoyment can be compromised if you’re unsure what to do when you hook a shark or ray. Or you feel that other members of the fishing community can improve their practices.
You asked for best practice guidelines for catching, handling and releasing shark and rays. We’ve listened and delivered.
