Introducing the Search for Lost Sharks! 🦈 💦
Re:wild’s latest initiative as part of the Search for Lost Species is diving deep into the mysteries of sharks, rays, and chimeras (deep-sea shark-like fish) that have been lost to science for at least 10 years. From the glowing-eyed Crying Izak Shark to the elusive New Ireland Stingaree (not seen since 1825!) to the electric Red Sea Torpedo Ray, the Search for Lost Sharks will bring together researchers, local communities, and citizen scientists to mount searches to find rare and cryptic species.
Partnering with saveourseasfoundation, btwaves, miss_elasmo, padiaware, mission_blue, and resharkorg, we’re on a mission to rediscover the world’s lost sharks.
