ISRA Regional Expert Workshop Report – Region 5 and 13 – South American Atlantic & South American Inland Waters

The seventh and eighth Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) regional expert workshops were held in hybrid mode (in person and online) in Montevideo, Uruguay from 13–17 January 2025. The goal was to identify and delineate three-dimensional and discrete portions of habitat that are critical to the survival of sharks, rays, and chimaeras (hereafter ‘sharks’), and that have the potential to be managed for conservation. The regions covered were South American Atlantic & South American Inland Waters.
