Theme 2023 Catalyst for Change:

The Southern African Shark and Ray Symposium is back and this year, 2023 marks the 7th get together of this exciting bi-annual conference! The 2023 theme will be ‘Catalyst for Change: Post-pandemic research on Southern African Chondrichthyans’.

As we emerge from the pandemic, the 7th SASRS will offer the chance for the African shark and ray research community to engage and share information on the status of their different projects. As usual, it will include a wide range of disciplines from spatial, physiological, and molecular to conservation and socio-economic studies.

This will be an opportunity for researchers across all levels, from student to postdocs, to deliver oral and poster presentations along with a range of interactive workshops available.
