More often feared than revered, their role as predators of the deep have earned them a reputation as a major threat to humans. But the truth is that sharks are not a danger to usâthey're in danger from us. Exploring the core tenets of shark conservation science and policy, marine conservation biologist Dr. David Shiffman synthesizes decades of scientific research and policymaking, weaving it into a narrative full of humor and adventure. Touching on everything from Shark Week to shark fin soup, overfishing to marine sanctuaries, Shiffman reveals why sharks are in trouble, why we should care, and how we can save them. 541 $d 20230322. 650 $a Conservation biology. 650 $a Sharks. 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240201010206.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230518010047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=46CEBD66F54111EDB9F5D31542ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
