SharkLab Malta is an organization who's objective is to protect sharks, rays and skates. They do this by research and public education around the Maltese islands. Their primary goal is to protect sharks. These predators are important parts of the marine ecosystem but they are becoming  increasingly rare and face extinction. SharkLab Malta do various research activities such as snorkel and dive searches which allows them to observe local species and examine more closely the habitat where they continue to hold on. 

 

SharkLab Malta has been doing research on the development  of several egg-laying shark species that live in the Maltese waters.  The research includes hatching sharks from egg cases recovered from the fish market. They release the hatched sharks back into the Mediterranean to help numbers of these species to increase. This is very important research as many species of sharks are disappearing form the waters.

SharkLab is expanding and they are looking for new members who want to make a difference!
