What can be done?

- explore alternate methods of shark control activities and encourage further monitoring of  the nets 
- ensure all fishing is controlled and that commercial fisheries record the number of grey nurse sharks they catch using a compulsory log book implemented by the Recovery Plan for the Grey Nurse Shark (2014)
- The grey nurse sharks status of critically endangered means that it is not to be caught recreationally/commercially, further monitoring should be implemented to ensure this is the case
- More research is needed in order to understand the specie

Recovery Plan for the Grey Nurse Shark (Carcharias taurus) - following this plan is said to be useful in helping the population on the road to recovery
