Abstract/Summary

Despite anti-finning laws aimed at conserving sharks, Worm et al. have revealed that global shark mortality rates have surprisingly risen over the past decade, driven in large part by increased demand for meat. Here, we discuss the importance of this study, underscoring the need for broader regulations addressing overall shark mortality amid threats from global change
