Sharks in nearshore environments: models, importance, and consequences (2010, background): “Jennings et al. (2008) found a 23.5% 6 Knip et al.: Sharks in nearshore environments decline in the survival rate of young lemon sharks Negaprion brevirostris and a related 17.7% decline in seagrass habitat in the Bahamas, which was a result of increased coastal development.”
Nursery habitat use and foraging ecology of the brown stingray Dasyatis lata determined from stomach contents, bulk and amino acid stable isotopes (2011, unknown): “These ecosystems are highly susceptible to degradation from anthropogenic influences (Lotze et al. 2006), which can have substantial effects on juvenile survivorship (e.g. Jennings et al. 2008).”
Estuarine nursery areas provide a low-mortality environment for young bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas (2011, background): “Jennings et al. (2008) reported a 23.5% decline in survival of neonate lemon sharks in the North Sound of Bimini following extensive development adjacent to this nursery area.”
The importance of research and public opinion to conservation management of sharks and rays: a synthesis (2011, unknown): “These populations face a variety of threats, most notably from fishing (Bonfil 1994), habitat degradation (Jennings et al. 2008), pollution (Gelsleichter et al. 2005) and climate change (Chin et al. 2010).”
