Researchers who conducted a unique shark census in the northeastern Pacific Ocean were surprised to determine that there are fewer Great White sharks in the area than previously believed.
"The study, published in the journal Biology Letters, is the first rigorous scientific estimate of white shark numbers in the northeast Pacific Ocean, and represents one of the best estimates among the world's three known white-shark populations."
To me this suggests that a plan must be developed by nations whose lands touch the waters where these sharks live in order to conserve these sharks!
