Pacific Reef Sharks Are Vanishing

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/04/27/pacific-reef-sharks-vanishing-near-populated-islands/

Almost 90% of reef sharks have disappeared near populated islands such as the main Hawaiian Islands, the Mariana Archipelago, and American Samoa. The reason that sharks near human civilization are disappearing is probably from illegal fishing, incidental killing, and human impact on the fish that the sharks eat for dinner. It also says that human influences have more effect than natural influence, such as warmer water temperatures. I know that many people say that this is destroying the shark environment and it would cause a chain reaction affecting other species, but I think that this could be positive for humans. If these sharks do attack humans, there would be a significantly decrease in shark attacks. That is just my opinion on it.
