Sharkproject e.V.
Since joining in 2019, I became an active member and part of the scientific board. Additionally, I am a project leader overseeing two different projects supporting two aspiring shark scientists conducting their PhD-projects in the field of elasmobranch conservation.
Blue Savannah is a project led by German shark scientist Lukas Müller and supported by Sharkproject e.V.. In 2021, Sharkproject donated a tool to analyse eDNA-samples time- and cost-effectively in the project's field laboratory.
His project aims at understanding spatial-temporal movement patterns of bull sharks and other key species (such as endangered ray and fish species as well as dugongs) inside and outside the Bazaruto national park in Mozambique to establish and improve local management measures.
Angola ElasmoProject
Led by Ana Lucia Furtado Soares, the project is the first of its kind in the region using catch data from small-scale fisheries to provide baseline information on community composition of elasmobranchs. Furthermore, the aim is to establish adequate management measures in cooperation with local fishermen to potentially reduce by-catch and risk for endangered species.
