 We’ve just wrapped up the data for the first six months of 2025 and turned every confirmed shark encounter into a map. Each pin marks a real sighting across Greece, and each colour shows a different species.
What the data reveals: ✔️ From reef-dwelling catsharks to deep-sea six-gills, Greece’s waters remain rich in shark diversity ✔️ Sightings span the Aegean, Ionian, and even areas near Athens ✔️ Most sharks were released alive, proving that responsible fishers and divers are making a real difference Why it matters: Healthy shark populations are vital for a balanced marine ecosystem. By collecting and sharing this data, we can monitor trends, identify hotspots, and promote stronger protection where it’s needed most. How you can get involved: 1️⃣ If you see a shark, capture a clear photo or video from a safe distance and record the date, location, and species if you know it 2️⃣ Always handle sharks with care, release them quickly, and avoid bringing them ashore 3️⃣ Share this post and help raise awareness that Greece’s seas are full of life worth protecting 🗺️ Dive into the map and discover the true guardians of our seas #greeksharklogbook #saveoursharks #Aegeanlife #citizenscience #mermanconservation  We are thrilled to welcome our two new partners to the Greek Shark Logbook, a Merman Conservation Expeditions Ltd project.
