Scientists to tag 70 vulnerable sharks around Britain to track their movements

 A new three-year research initiative is set to study three at-risk shark species in British waters. By using electronic tags to monitor their movements and diving behaviors, the team will analyze historical distribution data from anglers spanning decades. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance understanding of shark migration and behavior, ultimately contributing to effective conservation efforts for these essential marine creatures. A new three-year research initiative is set to study three at-risk shark species in British waters.
