In preparation of the entry into force of the CoP17 shark listings, the Mexican Scientific Authority (CONABIO),
together with a group of experts from the Colegio de la Frontera Sur (Chetumal, Mxico), the Ensenada

The results of the workshop will contribute to the chapter on Assessment of the vulnerability of CITES-listed sharks under harvest in Mexico, coordinated by Juan Carlos Prez Jimenez (ECOSUR, Campeche), within the publication on Mexican CITES-listed sharks (in
