Our long-term sightings and tagging datasets were instrumental in the designation of 2 ISRAs along the Madagascan coast\u2013 Nosy Be and Pointe d&rsquo;Analalava, where four endangered species were highlighted: whale sharks, giant oceanic manta rays, spinetail devil rays and shorthorned pygmy devil rays. This was a massive team effort with colleagues from Wildlife Conservation Society, Marine Megafauna Foundation, Florida International University and IH.SM and the ISRA team.<\/p>\n<p>You can consult the ISRAs e-atlas here: https:\/\/sharkrayareas.org\/e-atlas\/<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4747\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-23-at-18.57.43.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"962\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-23-at-18.57.43.png 962w, https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-2023-12-23-at-18.57.43-768x671.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s always rewarding to see research translating into conservation actions and this week we are incredibly excited that the IUCN Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) Western Indian Ocean e-Atlas is now available online, and proud that the Madagascar Whale [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4747,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.madawhalesharks.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
