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

A new three-year research initiative is underway in Britain to tag and track 70 vulnerable sharks across three at-risk species inhabiting local waters. Scientists will utilize electronic tags to monitor the animals' movements and diving behaviors.

In addition to the electronic tracking, the research team will analyze historical distribution data contributed by anglers over the course of decades. The comprehensive approach aims to enhance the understanding and conservation of these vulnerable marine populations.
