Sharks and Rays share a special trait of a skeleton made of cartilage. You know you have seen a shark when your heart skips a beat! With your help, Redmap will be tracking the following sharks and rays around Australia. Some of these species may be common along your coastline - but have you spotted any that aren't normally found at your local diving, fishing or swimming spots? Redmap is interested in sightings where sharks and rays have ventured away from their usual home range. You can sort this list by region and name.
