Webinar: Make or Break for Makos – 2021

The Make or Break for Makos webinar was arranged by the Humane Society International/Europe and hosted by Portuguese MEP Francisco Guerreiro in May 2021. The Shark Trust was delighted to have been invited to represent the Shark League, give a presentation on the pressures facing mako sharks in the Atlantic to the delegates, and present the issues to the delegates and contribute to a panel discussion and Q&A. The virtual event brought together shark scientists, policymakers, and NGO representatives to urgently discuss why the EU needs to adopt a strong position on the protection of mako sharks during the intersessional meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) in July 2021.
