Mediterranean Great White Sharks Nearing Extinction

The great white shark is on the brink of extinction in the Mediterranean Sea. Researchers warn that overfishing and illegal fishing are the primary causes. These practices have drastically reduced the population of all shark species in the region. The great white, a top predator, is now critically endangered there. The loss of such sharks disrupts the entire marine ecosystem. Their decline signals severe imbalance, according to scientists. Conservation groups are calling for immediate, enforced fishing bans. They say without this action, the Mediterranean great white will vanish.
