Read about our recent study to understand the consumption of shark meat in India’s restaurants!
Restaurant menus are a useful indicator of what people eat in their homes.

Wondering about some of our ongoing projects?
Project: Mapping the value and supply chain of elasmobranch harvest
Shruthi Kottillil’s (@shruthikol) study looks to understand the value/supply chain and trade characteristics of elasmobranchs from South India.
Wonderful to have worked on this with all my co-authors! Some good insights into elasmobranch consumption in India!

New Paper Alert!
Seafood restaurants are key to reducing shark & ray meat consumption in India.Elasmobranch meat has been historically consumed in regional cuisines, due to cultural affinities in India, but new consumption pathways are evolving due to tourism.

Did you know that there are kids in Chennai who have never seen the beach or the sea?
This is why we have started an outreach and education programme with children from Yein Udaan, @YeinUdaan Chennai. 🐟
@FERAL
This is not just a question of one company's profits against protesting fishing villages - an entire city is at stake. With more frequent storms and rising sea levels, the Pulicat Lake can protect Chennai.
Ask our leaders, like CM @mkstalin to keep his election promise and stop Adani Port Limited from destroying this unique site. Join the #savepulicat exhibition and make your voices heard at the next public hearing!

Paper alert 🚨 Bull sharks are famous for occurrences in low salinity environments....but how many people know how long they are able to survive in these? Several bull sharks in an Australian golf course lake have setted a new record of duration 🦈 doi.org/10.47193/mafis.37120…
We need to do everything we can to save our natural ecosystems. It is already too late

This suggests changing #community #structure and potential #mesopredator release with a new species Urogymnus granulatus reported for the fist time. We then suggest potential #fisheries #management measures to be considered in #consultation with the #fisherfolk community.
