Both the thornback ray and the small-spotted dogfish appear to have increased along the Swedish west coast. At the same time, we know that stocks are still low from a historical perspective.
In Lysekil, on the Swedish West coast, a project is underway to save sharks and rays, which may help them recover in the short term. But in the long term, it is the environments that must be protected, says Martin Stjernstedt, marine biologist and educator at Havets Hus.
In the second part of our series on Swedish sharks and rays, you will find out what is happening in Lysekil and also experience unique footage of wild sharks and rays in Sweden.
