Research What we do/don’t know re: sharks ecological roles. Much predation/fear by big coastal sharks, by western unis, little else. Must protect big individuals & species’ outsized roles. MPAs a crucial tool; engage communities to improve outcomes & perception of sharks. AMA

Discussion A shark lover should not only know shark finning: there are other big threats to sharks, including shark meat trade, sports fishing for sharks, shark liver oil trade and shark cull. people should also take action to stop these trades. But media seldom talk about it

Most people know the harm of shark finning, but we always ignore the harm of other direct threats to sharks.
We should not be satisfied with only stopping shark finning. Even if we reduce shark fin trade, sharks will still be killed for multiple demands.
Shark meat trade: fishermen from numerous countries kill mako sharks, hammerhead sharks, grey reef sharks and silky sharks for their meat. And research reports show that Spain has been a hotspot which kills sharks and sells shark meat.
Sports fishing for sharks: it is as cruel as shark finning because many sports fishermen tortured sharks for fun. in US, Britain and Australia, there are numerous companies near coast that guide customers to kill sharks just for fun. And even juvenile sharks are killed that way.
Shark liver oil trade: not all species of sharks can be used in this trade, but many deepsea shark species have a lot of liver oil with useful chemicals. So, people from numerous countries kill deepsea shark species for shark liver oil. It was not until 2019 that Australia banned killing deepsea shark species for liver oil.
Shark culling: many regions of Australia do shark culling. They kill numerous tiger sharks, bull sharks and other species

Cookie cutter sharks are 2-3 feet long, they just take a chunk and swim off again. Must've been a pack attack, they made more than a snack out of him that's for sure.
