dc.descriptionNew shark and ray species were added to Appendix II of CITES in 2016 (COP17 in Johannesburg, South Africa) that will enter into effect in 2017. In order to prioritise where support for FAO Member States can be targeted to assist in the implementation of CITES provisions for management of sharks and rays, FAO reviewed current fishery related information that highlights a range of fishery information by country and region. Detailed reports on the situation of shark and ray fisheries are collated for each country, including summary information on fisheries and trade in sharks and rays, assessment of capacity to implement CITES requirements, governance and institutional arrangements. The results of the prioritization process and assessment of capacity needs can help guide the future delivery of investment in relation to management and conservation of sharks, in general, and specifically to support implementation of CITES provisions by countries involved in the fisheries and trade in listed species of sharks and rays.
