GUARDIANS
OF THE SEA:
Exploring Sharks and Rays
Guardians of the Sea: Exploring Sharks and Rays offers a window into the fascinating world of these incredible creatures that inhabit the waters of the Honduran Moskitia. More than just a book, it’s a tool for learning and action, showing why sharks and rays are essential for the balance of marine ecosystems and how we can work together to protect them and the communities that share their home.
At Ilili, conservation begins with knowledge. That’s why this book is for everyone: fishers, students, community leaders, and anyone passionate about protecting our oceans. As part of our commitment to local culture, it’s also available in Miskito, ensuring that communities can access this information in their language.

Acknowledgments
This book was made possible thanks to the support of the New England Biolabs Foundation and the Conservation Leadership Programme, whose backing allowed us to share key information for shark conservation in the Moskitia.
We extend our gratitude to Alberto Mejía-Paniagua, Jan Balaam Wood, and Marcos Odair Wood for developing the content, to Gabriela Ochoa for the editing, and to Fresly Paisano Mally for the Miskito translation.
A special thank you to the Miskito communities, who have opened their doors and collaborated in numerous conservation efforts. This book is a reflection of that shared work and a testament to the commitment to protect the sea and its biodiversity.
