Decline or shifting distribution? A first regional trend assessment for white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in South Africa

Decline or shifting distribution? A first regional trend assessment for white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in South Africa

Unprecedented levels of change in ocean ecosystems bring an ever-increasing need for re-analyses of existing data to explore pressing conservation questions. Substantial declines in white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) presence at two primary aggregation sites have raised concerns about the species’...
