marine biodiversity hub Since 2007, the CSIRO’s Biogeography and Taxonomy team has described 80 new species of sharks, rays and chimaeras from Australian waters, in collaboration with numerous international experts. This represents more than a quarter of Australia’s, and about 7% of the world’s, shark and ray fauna. Full species accounts are available in the recently published Sharks and Rays of Australia, Second The NERP Marine Biodiversity Hub is supported through funding from the Australian Government’s National Environmental Research Program, administered by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Edition by Peter Last and John Stevens. The collage of the 80 new species above highlights the very high diversity of sharks, rays and chimaeras found within the Australian region. The Biogeography Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPaC). Our goal is to support marine stakeholders in evidence-based decision making for marine biodiversity management. Stakeholders include DSEWPaC, the and Taxonomy team at CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research in Hobart consists of: Peter Last, Daniel Gledhill, William White, John Pogonoski, Alastair Graham and Louise Conboy. Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA), the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA) and the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS).
