The National Marine Fisheries Service implemented conservation measures for depleted coastal sharks in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.
Stock assessments conducted in 2006 revealed sandbar, porbeagle and dusky shark populations have been severely overfished, and rebuilding timeframes are projected at 66, 100 and 400 years, respectively.
Thanks to numerous comments filed last winter by conservation and fishing groups, including NCMC and its members, a tough program to protect and restore these species is now in place.

WOW! It's amazing… I have not read this text but I know the shark is a very dangourous animal! byebye, I'm from Norway ;P

Not all sharks are dangerous, even the Great White isn't completely vicious or attack for no reasons. When you see are shark in the water, you shouldn't even have to be alarmed, you don't even have to do anything. I was at the beach one time and I encounter a blacktip, I stood still, and it just swam around be several times and swam away. Often sharks are exaggerated and feared by humans completely because of human ignorance, which is why many of them are endangered. Yes they can be dangerous, only if you provoke them, or even if its the simple cut on your arm that can attract a shark.
