Endangered and Threatened Wildlife: 90-day Finding on Petitions to List the Great Hammerhead Shark

View Comment

I urge you to please list the Great Hammerhead range-wide under the Endangered Species Act. As I'm sure you are aware, the numbers of most large open-ocean sharks, including the Great Hammerhead, are dwindling due to finning and overfishing. CITES delegates have found the Great Hammerhead to be deserving of Appendix II listing, and it is logical that the U.S. should follow by listing them under the ESA. Please, list the Great Hammerhead. Thank you.
