Malta Amongst Top Countries For Shark Conservation Contributions

Jan 24 2025 Share

A recent study, shared by Times of Malta, identified Malta as one of the leading contributors to shark conservation efforts in the Mediterranean.

A study by Lydia Koehler and Jason Lowther from the University of Plymouth explores shark conservation efforts across the region.

Malta ranks fifth, behind Spain, Greece, Italy, and Croatia, with 27 actions, policies, and initiatives implemented to safeguard various species of sharks, rays, and skates.

This high ranking is particularly impressive given Malta’s lower GDP compared to many of the nations it surpasses.

The study highlights Malta’s involvement in the ELASMOMED database, a regional initiative gathering genetic data to aid shark research and conservation, as a significant contribution.

Additionally, the work of local NGO Sharklab-Malta is underscored, especially its pioneering programme focused on breeding and releasing sharks back into their natural habitats.
