Expanding the Global FinPrint: An exciting new initiative
Reef sharks are in trouble worldwide. Here at Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, we re applying science and people power to save them through a new initiative called Expanding the Global FinPrint.
Lessons learned
The world’s largest shark survey, Global FinPrint, found that reef sharks were functionally extinct on many reefs in the 58 survey nations. This resulted in most species of reef sharks being listed as being threatened with extinction by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

People power
Global FinPrint showed that reef sharks were doing well in places where people invested in management efforts that were culturally and socio-economically suited to the local community. This illustrates the importance of people power for shark conservation.
