Shark Advocates International and Havenworth Coastal Conservation collaborate to track and accelerate the recovery of America’s most threatened marine fish, Florida’s smalltooth sawfish. SCF funds allow these two projects of The Ocean Foundation to expand outreach, promote enforcement of safeguards, and facilitate research under the ESA Recovery Plan. The grant also enables new NGO partnerships to significantly boost capacity for conserving critical habitat and improving fisheries management.
