Summary

Indonesia is the world’s third largest trader in shark and ray (elasmobranch) products (e.g. fins). Elasmobranch products are often difficult to identify to species level making it challenging to detect protected species being illegally traded. This project aims to improve the capacity of trade regulators and law enforcement to detect illegally traded species. This will be done through development of a national training team and improved customs procedure, which will ultimately improve the traceability and sustainability of their elasmobranch trade.
