1 month agoMediterranean sharks are vanishing in a legal void
Shark populations in Libya are declining due to unchecked fishing practices and economic pressures on fishermen.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife reported that four divers were cited for illegally taking hundreds of spiny lobsters, most of which were undersized, from a Los Angeles beach.
The grunion run starts in March and continues for six months, but harvesting is permitted only on specific days to allow the fish to successfully spawn and sustain their population.
