(National Geographic) – There was great news out of Mexico this week when the Mexican government announced a permanent ban on fishing for great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias). The measure applies to national waters on both coasts and is notable because it means that white sharks caught accidentally – bycatch – by commercial or recreational fishermen must be immediately released back into the sea.

This announcement builds on Mexico’s commitment in 2011 to ban all shark and stingray fishing starting in 2012. Where the earlier commitment was viewed as a temporary moratorium, the new ban will offer permanent protection.

Great whites (most sharks and rays for that matter) grow slowly, live long lives, and don’t reproduce often; all characteristics that make them incredibly vulnerable as a species.

Western Australia has begun a shark cull, purportedly to prevent future shark attacks and as a result of the seven fatal shark attacks that have occurred in Western Australian waters over the past three years.
