Almost two-thirds of sharks and rays that live around the world’s coral reefs are threatened with extinction with potentially dire knock-on effects for ecosystems and coastal communities, according to new research.
The decline of shark populations in the global ocean could limit symbiotic interactions, consequently placing more pressure on already highly targeted and vulnerable species.
The odds of a great white shark encounter are increasing. Scientists say that rising water temperatures due to climate change are allowing juvenile sharks to expand their territory.
