...date, only four countries--the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Canada--have implemented any sort of shark-management plan, and only a handful have enacted laws protecting especially vulnerable species. Probably the most comprehensive undertaking is the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service's Atlantic shark-fishery management plan, which since 1993 has limited the catch of 39 species in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. The plan sets annual quotas, bans finning and mandates species-specific tracking programs to help scientists. "It's having an impact," says NMFS's Rebecca Lent. "The 1996 assessments show that...
Fights have already started to break out over the dwindling supply. Two weeks ago, hundreds of Canadian fishermen blockaded a British Columbia port for several days to keep an Alaskan ferry from leaving. The reason for their protest?

Caught early enough, the Lyme infection can be completely cleared by taking oral antibiotics...

The ferry had been held hostage by Canadian fishermen who claim U.S. fishing fleets are violating a 1985 treaty on salmon fishing by netting the choicest fish in the ocean as they swim to Canada. The bold move drew fire from the U.S. State Department and Alaskan fishermen, who claim they're not hogging the premier salmon, called sockeye, but are abiding by the fishing treaty by going after the more common and less valuable pink salmon. Local businesses weren't too happy with...
