Article Synopsis
  • Assessing ocean biodiversity is challenging, with limited global indicators highlighting overfishing as a major threat, impacting shark and ray populations.
  • Analysis of 1199 species shows their populations have declined by 50% since 1970, with a 19% increase in extinction risk, particularly in regions with high coastal human populations.
  • Sustainable fishing practices and restrictions on threatened species can help prevent further biodiversity loss and maintain ecological balance in marine environments.

Here, we summarise the extinction risk of the sharks and rays endemic to coastal, shelf, and slope waters of the southwest Indian Ocean and adjacent waters (SWIO+, Namibia to Kenya, including SWIO islands). This region is a hotspot of endemic and evolutionarily distinct sharks and rays. Nearly one-fifth (n = 13 of 70, 18.

The deep ocean is the last natural biodiversity refuge from the reach of human activities. Deepwater sharks and rays are among the most sensitive marine vertebrates to overexploitation. One-third of threatened deepwater sharks are targeted, and half the species targeted for the international liver-oil trade are threatened with extinction.

Biodiversity loss is a major global challenge and minimizing extinction rates is the goal of several multilateral environmental agreements. Policy decisions require comprehensive, spatially explicit information on species' distributions and threats. We present an analysis of the conservation status of 14,669 European terrestrial, freshwater and marine species (ca.
