We have appreciated your ongoing support for Shark and Turtle conservation on our Curieuse Island project in the Seychelles.
Sicklefin lemon shark pups are an important part of the marine ecosystem. Studying their behavior, growth, and development helps stakeholders understand the biology and conservation needs of lemon sharks as a whole.
Lemon shark pups are primarily found in shallow coastal waters, including mangroves, estuaries, and coral reefs. They are known to inhabit both saltwater and brackish water environments.
Lemon sharks are listed as Near Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), face threats from overfishing, habitat degradation, and the impacts of climate change.
Your support has meant we have been able to monitor the lemon shark population including the pups. Your funds helped purchase resources to aid in monitoring processes.
