Just like Pyramid Lake, except you get eaten if you fall off your ladder.

Shark Survey

Recreational angling for sharks is becoming a popular leisure activity worldwide. Sharks are also landed as bycatch when recreational anglers target other fish species. Given the important role sharks play in marine ecosystems, developing a better understanding of when recreational anglers encounter sharks and how they handle sharks once landed is important for their conservation and management.

Please consider taking this short survey that begins to compile angler-based information regarding sharks.

Thanks!
