According to World Wildlife Fund’s Living Planet Report 2022, a comprehensive study of trends in global biodiversity and the health of the planet, 75% of shark and ray species are considered at risk of extinction due to unsustainable fishing practices. In this activity, we will learn the causes and effects of sharks and rays being overfished and evaluate current fishing solutions to determine which are the most sustainable, based on their social, economic, and environmental impacts.
