Found in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean and Black Seas, the common stingray typically hangs out in coastal waters with sandy or muddy bottoms. This is prime habitat for a species that spends most of its time buried underneath sediment on the seafloor. While these stingrays are not currently a target for commercial fisheries, they are often caught in nets by accident and later used for food or to make products like fishmeal and liver oil. There is also a growing demand for stingray skin, which can be processed into an almost indestructible leather. With no restrictions on stingray catches in place, a sudden increase in demand for stingray leather could seriously threaten several stingray populations. Photo taken @loroparque.

harolddobbs Thanks for raising awareness of this! Especially as other animal products become more regulated, I'm increasingly worried about stingrays evolving into the new trendy accessory. #savetherays

loydyg What companies primarily buy the skins? Also/or what forms of use (clothing, shoes, accessories or furniture) are the biggest industry for the skins?
