The Freshwater Sawfish has recently been uplisted from vulnerable to endangered under the EPBC Act.
The uplisting highlights the urgency and importance of the research we are doing for the future of sharks and rays in Australia.

Have you wondered why we tag animals?🦈
Tagging is a method used to gain scientific data on animals to help answer research questions.📚
Swipe to see why we use tags at Sharks And Rays Australia!

Happy World Croc Day! 🐊 While we focus on sharks & rays, crocs are key neighbours in QLD. Check out these ones spotted in Rinyirru (2013) and Kowanyama (2020)! From salties to freshies, they’re protected and vital to our ecosystems. #WorldCrocDay #Crocwise #Queensland #Fieldwork #Crocdile
