We also thank Maria Harvey for her assistance in setting up the website and Anivat Chanachanchai and Elana Boekman for volunteering their time for fin matching. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with such a wonderful community to establish a bridge of communication between fishers, resource users, managers, and researchers, to promote sustainable fishing practices and reduce bycatch and depredation for the betterment of the lives of both sharks and fishers. This project was funded through the 2019 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program award number NA18NMF4720281; the NOAA Fisheries Office of Protected Resources 2021 funding program; and the National Marine Fisheries Services Cooperative Research Program 2022.
