While the laboratories are still being set up, we are ready to "cast off"! - this time with the research vessel RV DANA from Denmark.

In a recent study by the EU's Horizon Europe project MarinePlan, which is coordinated by the Thünen Institute of Sea Fisheries, the scientists emphasise that systematic conservation planning (SCP) in particular can stop the loss of biodiversity.

The IUCN Shark Specialist Group's new status report 'The global status of sharks, rays and chimeras' has been published - with contributions from our colleague Matthias Schaber.
