Scientists have shown for the first time that juvenile great white sharks gather in nearshore waters up to 10 meters deep with temperatures between 16 and 22 °C – a very different habitat from that of adults. These preferences may optimize their growth and minimize the risk of predation. These results can inform conservation efforts and help avoid unwanted encounters with swimmers.

The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) decided to give 9 migratory marine species greater protection. Let's take a closer look at who they are.

Bycatch reduction is a win-win for fishers and for the marine life caught.  How can we do this? The Marine Scotland Science team shows one possible solution.

Spiny dogfish have been blamed for the disappearance of menhaden - but that blame is unwaranted.

Citizen scientists are helping to monitor sharks, providing vital information that can help us take better care of them.

Shark declines are not just the result of shark finning
