Overview

Systematic review maps human dimensions in shark conservation, indicating gaps and needs for future research.

Key Points

  • To map key concepts and gaps in research on human dimensions relevant to shark conservation.
  • Conducted a systematic scoping review of 171 studies involving human participants related to sharks.
  • Analyzed concepts including perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors toward sharks and conservation efforts.
  • Investigated responses from various groups including tourists, the public, and fishers.
  • Tourists and the public displayed overall positive attitudes towards sharks, but underlying fear was noted.
  • Fishers recognized ecological importance but felt underrepresented and perceived threats from conservation efforts as increasing.
  • A significant correlation existed between knowledge of sharks and positive attitudes, highlighting potential areas for educational outreach.
