This project seeks to support governments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to implement CITES CoP19 shark listings, through national level management and policy change. This in turn will help to ensure that all shark listings are being effectively implemented and complied with. These activities aim to ultimately result in an overall reduction in shark catch and trade in the MENA region.
