Why are research and conservation for this species important?

"In my job I am lucky enough to travel a lot of the world but that also shows me the damage mankind is doing to his habitat, and as a diver I also see the damage we are doing in the oceans, research and conservation are the way forward especially with creatures like sharks, they are critical for our ocean."
