South Australia enacted laws to protect vulnerable sharks and rays from overfishing and inhumane treatment.

It took two years to move this ban from the idea stage to implementation, but it resulted in protections for 77 species.

Anglers are limited to one catch for 11 other animals and a maximum of two for all other sharks.
