This Sharks International #SI2026 I was able to lead a workshop on conservation planning sponsored by shark.swiss. This is only the start of building a community for conservation planning for Chondrichthyes. Thank you also to our experts for sharing their knowledge.

Starting off with Lydia Koehler talking giving an introduction to species conservation planning.

Continuing our expert talks was Simone Niedermüller on the Mediterranean action plan for sharks under the Barcelona Convention.
This was followed by Ali Hood and Eva Meyers discussing the CMS action plan development for angel sharks and work on guitarfishes.

Wrapping up the morning session was Irene Kingma sharing lessons from the tope action plan.
This afternoon included group work to identify barriers + solutions to successful conservation in the Med, W Africa, Indo-Pacific, Atlantic and High Seas focusing on single or multiple species as examples.

Shallow seamounts are prey-rich oases for predators.
Dr Weber @exeter.ac.uk underlines the findings that see seamounts’ role as activity hubs & oases for marine species & shows how these remarkable habitats influence the oceans that surround them.

Seamounts are gathering hubs for ocean predators
Seamounts attract sharks and marine predators, with 41 times more sharks than open waters. These mountains act as social hubs
