This innovative project combines several research techniques to investigate how many, and in which ways, shark and ray species behave in the coastal waters of St Maarten. The information gathered in will be used to aid Sint Maarten’s government in effectively implementing the marine component of their Nature Policy Plan. At a transboundary level, it can facilitate the inclusion of Sint Maarten into the Yarari Sanctuary for marine mammals and sharks.
Duration: 18 months
