ABSTRACT
This guide has been developed to improve catch and landings data on sharks and rays that are listed on three international treaties: the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), Sharks Memorandum of Understanding (Sharks MOU), and Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). It includes 26 shark and ray species that have been confirmed from the waters of at least one of the seven Sub-Regional Fisheries Commission (SRFC) countries, namely, Cabo Verde, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and The Gambia.
