The European Elasmobranch Association (EEA) was established in 1996 as a non-profit share-holding organisation for co-ordinating the activities of national European organisations dedicated to the study, management or conservation of chondrichthyans (sharks, skates, rays and chimaeras).
The EEA is an association of organisations, not individuals. Members of the public support the EEA by joining one (or more) of its European member organisations.
