About This Project
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are being promoted for shark and ray conservation. However, MPA benefits for some species are still questionable due to unclear objectives set by varied stakeholders. Here, we will compliment the use of BRUVs with eDNA metabarcoding to evaluate shark and ray biodiversity in Gili Islands MPAs. Results will be used to determine the effectiveness of these MPAs as a conservation tool for coral reef sharks and rays.
