World Shark Awareness Day: 30 pc of species face extinction

Thiruvananthapuram, July 14 (UNI) An estimated 100 million sharks are killed globally every year, leading to the extinction of nearly 30 per cent of all known shark species, which play a vital role in marine ecosystems and face threats from human activity.
Nearly one-third of all known shark species face extinction, mostly due to overfishing - a figure that has undoubtedly increased today - causing cascading effects on fish populations and coral reef health.
In line with the World Shark Awareness Day on July 14, the Kerala based ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) is set to foster collaborative response across policy, science and enforcement for shark conservation in India.
