This book investigates the complex intersection of international law, scientific research, and socio-economic policy required to effectively manage and conserve global shark populations. The authors, Erika J. Techera and Natalie Klein, curate a multidisciplinary collection of essays from legal scholars, marine biologists, and policy experts. By synthesizing these diverse perspectives, the text argues that successful shark conservation necessitates bridging the gap between biological data and existing governance frameworks.
