Saving sharks means tackling bycatch, not just fishing bans
Original: The catch with bycatch: Saving sharks goes beyond no-fishing policies
Researchers argue that protecting sharks requires more than no-fishing policies, since large numbers of sharks are caught accidentally as bycatch in fisheries targeting other species. Arizona State University researchers say effective shark conservation must address how fishing gear is used and where, rather than relying on protected areas or catch bans alone, as bycatch remains a leading cause of shark population decline worldwide.
Why now: New research highlights that bycatch, not just targeted fishing, is driving shark declines, prompting debate over conservation strategies.
