Citizen science platforms play a crucial role in filling knowledge gaps and documenting global biodiversity trends, especially in under-sampled regions such as the Western Indian Ocean (WIO). Here, we assessed the contribution of citizen science data to elasmobranch records in Mozambique, examining species composition, spatio-temporal patterns, and conservation status. This study helps inform policy revision, targeted monitori...

Understanding the behaviour and ecological role of elasmobranchs is essential for their conservation, particularly in regions harbouring threatened and data-deficient species like the Inhambane coastline in southern Mozambique, southwestern Indian Ocean. This study employed long-life remote underwater video cameras (LL-RUV) to observe elasmobranch occurrence and behaviour at a rocky reef near Praia do Tofo known for frequent e...
