Abstract
Sharks are in decline globally (Robbins et al. 2006), generating concern at national and international levels. However, management bodies in smaller jurisdictions often lack the resources to carry out comprehensive assessments of the status of local shark populations and their associated fisheries. Here, we present the results of an alternative approach for assessing the shark fishery in Bermuda.
