The official Facebook account for the International Sawfish Encounter Database located at the University of Florida.
The International Sawfish Encounter Database (ISED) contains voluntarily reported sawfish captures and sightings collected from around the world. These records assist conservation efforts by allowing scientists to determine sawfish occurrence and distribution, and to evaluate habitat use and continuing threats to these dwindling populations. The ISED provides these important data to scientists, managers, and government agencies worldwide for use in conservation and management decisions pertaining to endangered sawfish populations.
Educating the public, particularly anglers, regarding the protected status of sawfish and proper handling and safe release procedures, is essential to recovering sawfish populations around the globe. Through outreach efforts the ISED seeks to nurture public appreciation and stewardship for sawfish which will further serve to safeguard their populations and prevent extinction.
