The collaboration between the Marine Institute, local fishermen, and the community has made it possible to gather crucial data on the movements and behavior of one of Europe’s most endangered shark species. This information will inform future conservation strategies aimed at securing the species' survival. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e8rp4Uhp 👏Big thanks to the team, including Dr. Ross O'Neill and local fisherman Michael Peter Hennessy, for their efforts. This initiative, co-funded by the EU and the Department of Agriculture is a shining example of how science and community collaboration can drive positive environmental change. #Marine #AngelShark #Science #Research
