The European Elasmobranch Association (EEA) was established in 1996 as a non-profit share-holding organisation for co-ordinating the activities of national European organisations dedicated to the study, management or conservation of chondrichthyans (sharks, skates, rays and chimaeras).
About The EEA
The EEA seeks to introduce effective management on a regional basis to regulate shark and ray fisheries and ensure their sustainability.
