The Great White SharkScientists right now are saying that the great white shark is possibly at risk of extinction. Some experts disagree with this argument saying that although there might not be a lot of them, the population might be normal and healthy, however if over time the numbers do start decreasing then there should be a commotion. Fishermen of course,oppose the endangered species listing. Environmentalists want more independent observers on fishing vessels to report bycatch of white sharks, a strategy to improve knowledge of unintentional deaths. I chose this article because, one would never guess that the great white shark could even have a risk of extinction because they seem to be strong and the media makes it sound like there are plenty of them out there. People however, do not understand that because they are deemed to be dangerous, many humans intentionally kill or hurt them.
