COUNTRY CHECKLISTS
Starting with the Pacific, SharkSearch is creating a separate page for each Country and Territory that contains photographs of sharks and rays taken by divers in each country, and the current checklist of sharks and rays for that country. The aim is to produce up to four country checklists per year.
