- Abstract
Conservation challenges facing elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) due to large population declines of many species are now widely recognized (Dulvy et al. [11]). This issue intensified recently as Massachusetts experienced its first fatal shark attack since 1936 (Mervosh [20]), and local authorities made calls for both seal culls (Anon [1]) and a "shark hazard mitigation strategy" (Eustachewich [12]). The white shark population increase has thus led to issues for conservation of both white sharks and grey seals that will require ongoing conflict management for long-term conservation success for both species. Transforming shark hazard policy: learning from ocean-users and shark encounter in Western Australia.
