Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) are an iconic groups of species, however, overfishing and poor management has driven around 40% of NE Atlantic species to be threatened with extinction. MPAs represent an effective conservation strategy, however, to be successful, they must be designed to encompass critical elasmobranch habitats (e.g. hotspots, nursery-grounds). A key step towards this is advancing our understanding of critical elasmobranch habitats and underlying environmental drivers. This project will integrate novel, cutting-edge elasmobranch field survey techniques (drifting baited cameras) with social science (e.g. semi-structured interviews) to identify critical elasmobranch habitats and threat overlap.

Elasmobranch（鲨鱼，溜冰鞋和射线）是一个标志性的物种群体，但是，过度捕捞和管理不善已驱使大约40％的NE大西洋物种灭绝。 MPA代表了一种有效的保护策略，但是要成功，它们必须旨在涵盖关键的弹性移植栖息地（例如热点，托儿所）。朝着这一点迈出的关键一步是促进我们对关键的弹性栖息地和潜在的环境驱动因素的理解。该项目将将新颖的，尖端的弹性浮游生物现场调查技术（漂流的诱饵相机）与社会科学（例如半结构化访谈）结合在一起，以识别关键的Elasmobranch栖息地和威胁重叠。
