The information is provided in two alternates: Percent of Total Population Living in the Low Elevation Coastal Zone (less than ten meters elevation), and Percent of Coastline that is Urbanized. With such a high percentage of people within a narrow coastal zone, the traditional one-eyed sectoral approaches, which favour exclusive uses, are likely to fail
The Right Blue
http://therightblue.blogspot.com/We were scanning around with our lights across a sandy area off the coast of West Caicos, when we saw this crab gallumphing along, hunting for his dinner. I settled on the sand just a meter or so in front of the critter, while Jerry shone a small beam of light on it from above so that I could set up the shot
Galeocerdo cuvier (Tiger Shark)
There is anecdotal evidence that in areas where catches in commercial fisheries are high, abundance has been significantly reduced (e.g., Taiwan (POC) (Bonfil 1994)). All operators who have targeted Tiger Sharks in this area have now ceased fishing.Tiger Sharks are taken as bycatch in a variety of fisheries including tuna and swordfish longline fisheries (e.g., Anderson 1985, Berkeley and Campos 1988), particularly those operating on, or close to, the continental and insular shelves

Strange Science: Sea Monsters
The kraken killed the ichthyosaurs, carried them home, munched away their squishy parts then daintily arranged their vertebrae into a self portrait of its own suckers. Cope Originally published in: "Fossil Reptiles of New Jersey" in American Naturalist Now appears in: The Dinosaur Papers by Weishampel and White Edward Drinker Cope was an early champion of bipedalism in some dinosaurs, and as the 19th century wore on, a growing inventory of theropod fossils would support his argument
The mangroves that the young frequently inhabit are highly productive waters, creating a marvellous site for feeding, but also an area of very low oxygen content. Maturity is reached at about six and a half years of age, and it is believed that the lemon shark lives for up to 27 years (2).Top Lemon shark rangeOccurs in the tropical western Atlantic, from New Jersey to southern Brazil; and in the north eastern Atlantic, off west Africa

Carcharhinus falciformis (Silky Shark)
According to IATTC it is not known whether these decreasing trends are due to fishing, changes in the environment, or other processes, however, these results were also consistent with a separate descriptive study of Silky Shark bycatch rates in dolphin sets. Given the significant declines observed in other areas including the central tropical Pacific, the large decline in reported landings off Sri Lanka, reports of declines in catch rates off the Maldives and high and continuing fishing pressure across this region, an assessment of at least Near Threatened is considered appropriate
A Game of Shark and Minnow - Who Will Win Control of the South China Sea? - NYTimes.com
Charlie Claro, the 29-year-old commander of the outpost, the men drilled holes in the boards with hand-cranks and pulled old, bent, rusted nails out of stray pieces of wood, hammered them straight, then reused them. In 2012, China and the Philippines engaged in a standoff at Scarborough Shoal, after a Philippine warship attempted to expel Chinese fishing boats from the area, which they claimed had been harvesting endangered species within the Philippine EEZ

Like whale sharks, they feed on tiny plankton, and may often be seen "basking" at the ocean surface while they feed by slowly swimming forward and filtering water in through their mouth and out their gills, where the prey is trapped in gill rakers
A conservation method that has met with some success is the creation of biosphere reserves, where the resources and land within the reserve are allowed to be used in a sustainable manner. In spite of this generalisation, the temperature and rainfall can vary greatly throughout the region, with the mean annual rainfall ranging from as little as 100 millimetres in some areas to over 4,000 millimetres in others (1)
Facts About Great White Sharks
They are also found in fewer numbers around the Azores, Brazil, the Caribbean, northwestern Africa, eastern Africa, the Seychelles, Madagascar, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, northern Australia, New Caledonia, the Philippines and Hawaii
Shark-Mounted Cameras Reveal Predators' Deep-Sea Secrets
Previously, scientists assumed that sharks were negatively buoyant (meaning they have a natural tendency to sink) or neutrally buoyant (meaning their buoyancy is canceled out by their weight in the water). The camera works at depths of up to 6,500 feet (2,000 meters), and can be paired with a strobe that provides light to take pictures in dark, deep waters
So glad this creature ended up in the hands of good people who have brains and act with respect and love for the same environment they use to earn their living.

Shark attacks in the Mediterranean
the attack of a white shark on a windsurfer resulting in bodily injuries happened in March 1986, however, just outside of the Mediterranean in Tarifa, Spain, on the Atlantic side of Gibraltar Statistics clearly prove that the risk of being attacked by a shark in the Mediterranean is extremely small, especialy in comparison to other regions of the world where sporadic attacks of white sharks on small vessels occur practically every year. With the rich maritime inheritance of the region and the long history of local and regional population segments, the oral accounts of shark attacks is an expected and normal component of later science
Sharks of the Mediterranean Sea
I think the hardest thing about travelling in Europe is that there are so many different languages spoken - no two countries seem to share the same language except maybe the UK and Ireland. Etmopterus spinax, Velvet belly Galeus melastomus, Blackmouth catshark Heptranchias perlo, One-finned shark Odontaspis ferox, Smalltooth sand tiger Pseudotriakis microdon, False catshark Alopias superciliosus, Bigeye thresher Alopias vulpinus, Thresher shark The thresher shark can reach 20 feet long, but almost half of the length is made up by his huge caudal fin, which is uses to whip his prey
