Few practices threaten worldwide shark populations like finning. Conservationists estimate 100 million sharks were caught in 2012. Despite ever-restricting legislation, the practice persists. Join Michael Sutton, executive director of the Audubon Society, as he discusses the finning trade, status of shark populations, and future of shark conservation. Science Sunday lectures are designed to appeal to the general public.
Science Sunday lecture with Michael Sutton. Seymour Marine Discovery Center, La Feliz room, 100 Shaffer Rd., Santa Cruz. 10/20, 1-3pm. Free with membership or UCSC student ID. 831.459.3800 for more information.
