The Save Our Seas Foundation is celebrating 20 years of shark and ray research, conservation and education. It has funded more than 480 projects, and in 2023 still focuses on early-career scientists, developing nations and highly threatened species. From Papua New Guinea to Mexico to West Africa, scientists search for giant guitarfish nurseries, track eagle rays by drones, connect with coastal communities and look to the future where marine life and our human footprint collide.
