Summary

This project scales IWT116’s successful capacity building, data collection and policy reform activities, which equipped the Mozambique and Tanzania governments with human and technical capacity to combat illegal shark and ray trade. Through replication scaling to new countries including Kenya and Madagascar, landscape scaling to build on completed activities in Mozambique and Tanzania, and systems change scaling for stronger management frameworks, the project aims for an environment capable of mitigating illegal trade, benefiting shark and ray populations and coastal communities.
