Our research programmes are concerned with the sustainable utilisation of marine resources in South Africa and on a global scale.    We aim to develop realistic initiatives to address exploitation, thereby contributing to long-term conservation and management goals.  Our research is primarily driven by understanding the role of apex predators, particularly elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays), in the marine environment.
