Final Fin?

" What do you fear a shark attack when you swim in the ocean. Apparently. You can -- a little bit less this summer because a new study says 13 of all sharks could soon be extinct. And that includes. The great white. Phil Keating is live at the shark bite capital of the world in new Smyrna beach Florida -- we have covered a lot of shark attacks. Off of that exact beach so which sharks are we talking about here and why are they in --"

" Well primarily were talking about deep water open ocean sharks the charge that the black tip and the Spinner shark that are on the speech. Primarily -- here and they have a lot of shark bites here it's what did you last year six so far this year. Because a lot of -- there are great ways. And then of course brings up a whole lot of surfers and so -- we're gonna -- shark -- but we're dealing with the deep -- like the great -- The great hammerhead this Gallup hammerhead. Several pieces of -- sharks as well as many species of rays and according to the international union for the conservation of nature. Which had shark scientist headquartered in Switzerland there's study found that 13 of all of these shark species are headed towards the road to extinction. And that has great impact for marine ecosystems because the shark is the top predator. But researchers found that without that top creditor. Well yeah actually have ecosystems coral -- that will die and -- that will be depleted why -- headed for extinction. Well they blame is going towards large scale commercial fisheries talk about tuna fishery swordfish fisheries these are. Big ships out there in the deep water they've got massively long naps and a lot of time sharks accidentally get caught up in these nets and historically. -- fishing industry has just consider that by cats also compounding the problem is the illegal. Thinning of sharks that's where sharks are specifically. Caught where there -- are then sliced off and then quite -- leave the Clark is still alive has been tossed. Overboard back in the water to die and those fins are then shipped to Asia where shark fin soup is the delicacy and the others of the study say while those countries. Ban that practice it's really not enforced much at all in the deep water."

" Man -- it's -- to be a -- fan but that's just seems wrong so. What what of the shark scientists say needs to be done I mean what why did they say eight we need -- sharks and and -- it how to protect them."

" Well they have found that when you take the shark away from the equation that entire world -- will die off because the predator the -- better really makes that much of a difference. What they really want the offices of the study is that. Countries gather and populations. Get upset enough as they did the -- eighties about un bridled unregulated whaling which was leading. To the extinction of a lot of whale species to have that happen now -- sharks. And so in Florida a lot of experts go out there they -- tag and they released sharks tracking their populations. And they are also noticing. That overfishing is contributing to declining shark populations."

" While that's really interesting and you know the point about -- the humanitarian way. For the humane way I should say about catching these shirts that that sends up that that I can see what -- band up down -- this airport cookies yeah or -- thank you."

" Produced perfect ninth inning at zero again. --"
