Sharklab ADRIA: Center for marine and freshwater biology is an international research and educational organization that work across the northern Mediterranean, with focus on the eastern Adriatic Sea. Currently we have two headquarters (Malta and Bosnia and Herzegovina) with research branches operating in five countries. Our expertise is in pathology, immunology, toxicology, embryology, ecology and conservation; while our studies are focused on the better understanding of the biological traits, population structures and the effects of pollution on disease development in sharks, skates and rays. The obtained results are used for development long-term conservation measures on both local and regional levels. During the past six years, we led 19 regional research projects (and participated as expert group in 7 others) in the fields of pathology, immunology, embryology, ecology and conservation. Mentioned projects were funded and supported by Rufford Foundation, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Explorers Club, Foundation Ensemble, S.E.E. Foundation, Waitt Foundation, PADI Foundation, IDEA WILD, European Union and several governmental agencies. In last ten years, our scientists have published more than 100 original papers and several widely recognized books. Scientists and researchers from the Sharklab ADRIA have lectured numerous conferences across United States, Europe and western Asia. Our scientific achievements were featured in more than 200 media including NatGeo WILD, Discovery, FOX, BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, Duetsche Welle and many more.
