Shark journeys cross oceans and national boundaries
A University of Queensland review maps how sharks and rays recorded in Australian waters travel far beyond them.
The 16 September report identifies journeys reaching New Zealand, South Africa, Indonesia and open-ocean areas. It also finds major gaps: 18 of 29 listed migratory shark and ray species had no published movement information. The study argues that conservation planning needs better tracking and cooperation across borders.
