Sharks: Conservation, Governance and Management by Erika J. Techera,Natalie Klein Pdf

The key aim of this book is to explore the global conservation and management of sharks. There has been a rapid decline in populations of many shark species, while new science has emerged of the critical role they play in marine ecosystems. However, the authors show that conservation law and policy have been slow to develop, with only a small number of iconic species being protected worldwide. The increase in fishing impact – primarily through shark finning and by-catch - has led to shark conservation receiving greater international attention in recent years. The book explores our current knowledge and status of the law and science in relation to sharks with a particular focus on improving frameworks for their conservation and management. Recent trends are analysed, including shark finning bans that have been put in place in several countries, the widening number of nations establishing shark sanctuaries and the growth of shark-based tourism. The efficacy of current listing processes for endangered species and fisheries regulations is also examined. Tourism is explored as an alternative to fishing and the risks and impacts associated with this industry are analysed. Contributors include leading authorities from universities and conservation organizations in North America, Europe and Australia. A common theme is to emphasise the importance of collaborative governance between various interest groups and the need for inter-disciplinary research and management approaches that are necessary to address the decline in sharks.

Better data collection in shark fisheries – Learning from practice by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Pdf

Some species and stocks of sharks, rays, skates, and chimaeras (termed shark in this review) are rapidly depleting due to climate change, land-based influences, and overfishing. These pressures, coupled with sharks’ low reproductive potential (slow growth and delayed maturation; long reproductive cycles; low fecundity; and long lifespans) place sharks in a risk profile that is more akin to mammals on land than fish in the ocean. The development of policy, and the delivery of management and conservation measures regulating the use, international trade, and capture of sharks (whether as a targeted species or as bycatch in fisheries), is hindered by gaps in basic knowledge – a knowledge that is required in order to get a clear sense of their status in real-time. Many countries are establishing or strengthening monitoring across shark value chains to overcome these shortfalls in information. This document reviews what shark fisheries data is being collected, highlighting the opportunities and constraints in collecting information on sharks in fisheries, based on practical experience. It includes information from 28 surveys across 19 countries: 9 in the Mediterranean, 5 in Africa, 3 in Asia, and 1 in Oceania. Interviews were conducted with data collectors and managers across the entirety of the survey process, while data collection variables were documented in order to inform those interested in the collection, provision, and exchange of shark information on common practices and their commonalities. The review identifies standardized information metrics which, if collected more generally, would strengthen the opportunity for harmonized reporting and cross-comparability across surveys. In addition – and in order to assess the status quo – the current data collection requirements of management measures applied to sharks by regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) were reviewed, including “no retention” measures. Finally, the review proposes a list of the minimum standard measurements and common life-history parameters required to support the assessment of shark stocks in fisheries.

Pelagic Sharks-- Fisheries Management and Conservation by Juan C. Levesque Pdf

This book demonstrates that even with conservative management and the use of advanced population models, most pelagic sharks can not be sustainably exploited for very long, if at all. Unlike any other previous shark book, this book was specifically intended for the use by domestic and international pelagic shark fishery managers. The book highlights a historical perspective on shark conservation, but the focus of the book is on the importance of improving current modeling applications and management approaches. Overall, the book provides a review of the past, present, and the future needs of pelagic shark conservation and management.

Sharks in Danger by Rachel Cunningham-Day Pdf

This book reviews the current status of, and threats to, shark populations globally with special reference to the basking shark and the great white shark. This book outlines why sharks are a valuable resource, identifies threats to sharks and where they occur and reviews what we need to know about sharks in order to protect them. Fisheries management procedures are investigated to target areas requiring future research and implementation. Conservation initiatives, legislation, and international agreements are reviewed and future measures suggested. Case histories on the basking shark and the great white shark detail threats specific to these species and identify research and management requirements. Sharks are a valuable resource both directly through shark watching trips, medical research and commercial and recreational fisheries, and indirectly through the selection pressure they exert on our teleost fisheries, the part they play in maintaining the ecology of the ocean and their intrinsic scientific value. Identifiable threats to sharks are recreational and commercial overfishing and environmental degradation rendered by man such as development of nursery and mating zones and disturbance of the marine environment through netting and trawling. Particular threats to sharks worldwide are the exploitative fin and cartilage trades. Information required for the sustainable management of sharks include life history episodes such as reproductive rates, vulnerable life stages, population dynamics and spatial and temporal distribution. An indepth analysis of white sharks and basking sharks reveal similarities in their reproductive strategies such that both species will follow similar management practices. In reviewing fishery management practises it was found that sustainable management plans must be based upon reproductive rates requiring knowledge of life histories. Life history information is often required for legislative protection such that extremely rare species cannot be considered. Protective legislation should be targeted towards individual species and vulnerable life stages, particularly nursery and mating zones. Further legislation should be enacted to improve current knowledge through data collection.
