This exhibition aims to promote the conservation of deep-sea elasmobranchs by developing procedures that reduce their capture and mortality resulting from crustacean trawling activities in the Northeast Atlantic, specifically on the south and southwest coasts.

This exhibition is part of the DELASMOP project, a partnership between the Algarve Center for Marine Sciences (CCMAR) of the University of Algarve, the Interdisciplinary Center for Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) of the University of Porto, and the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA). It is funded by the Save our Seas Foundation and the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and also has technical support from the company OLSPS marine.
