People have pointed me to
https://theconversation.com/oceanic-sharks-and-rays-have-declined-by-71-since-1970-a-global-solution-is-needed-154102
and also
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/28/world/sharks-rays-decline-study-intl-hnk-scli
-scn/index.html
I was told the link to the original article in this article works
and
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/01/most-high-seas-shark-species-now-threatened-extinction
This last one includes the statement that "The group is now analyzing
coastal sharks and rays and reef-dwelling species."
Cheers, Doug
