Sawfish Conservation

Sawfishes are one of the most endangered groups of fishes. Due mainly to over fishing and entanglement in nets and fishing gear, their numbers are declining rapidly and they have even been considered extinct in many parts of their natural range. You can help! Increase awareness in your local area about sawfishes and their need for protection, and increased enforcement of existing protections. Report any sawfish sightings, reduce pollution in your local waterways and support sustainable seafood b
