Article on Shark attacks, but further down is the portion I copied from it relating to the fishery..... Sharks Decline But Attacks Rise - Yahoo! News The U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service is proposing to effectively close down much of the coastal large shark fisheries, Baum said. "This would be a very positive step forward for shark management in the U.S.," she said. The European Union has acted to restrict pressure on deepwater sharks, Simpfendorfer said. And white sharks have been listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List, said shark researcher Salvador Jorgensen of Stanford University. In the 2008 IUCN Red List, forthcoming later this year, five additional great shark species will be listed in the threatened categories, including the shortfin mako shark and three species of thresher shark, each of which will be listed as vulnerable. The scalloped hammerhead will be listed as globally endangered, Baum said.

| WTF! I understand preservation, but for Christ's sake. Stop the finning operations and that would go a long way. Dogfish and choggies are going to be the only targetable species at this rate. GRRRR. | ||

| Yeh, isn't this all nice? The finning that goes on in "other countries" is probably LARGELY unregulated!
