[Coral-List] New paper: trophy fishing for species threatened with extinction

[David Shiffman]

Hello, everyone!  I wanted to bring your attention to a new paper from our
lab that may be of interest. It's about trophy fishing for IUCN Red List
Threatened species, and why we believe this practice should be stopped.

Please read and share, and please let me know if you have any questions.
