“…Top predators in the ocean, such as sharks, may be particularly cryptic given the relative inaccessibility of most of the ocean and a lack of understanding can contribute to negative perceptions that trigger persecution. Nevertheless, broad distributions within the oceans, rarity and cryptic biology render many sharks valuable to recreational diving and fishing industries and focus on sharks in conversation plans can drive top‐down management practices in protected areas (Gallagher, Cooke, & Hammerschlag, ; Gallagher, Hammerschlag, Danylchuk, & Cooke, ; Giglio, Luiz, & Schiavetti, ; Topelko & Dearden, ).…”
