Abstract

This document presents a set of figures prepared to illustrate the Best handling practices for the safe release of sharks adopted by WCPFC in 2018. Some changes to the text are also proposed with the aim of increasing its clarity, as well as to give more relevance to the use of a stretcher bed to release sharks that arrived alive on deck.
