What is the current great white shark population?

According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the global population of great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) is approximately 3,500 to 5,000 mature individuals. However, it's important to note that this is a rough estimate, and the actual population size may vary due to numerous factors that can affect their survival and reproduction.

Great white sharks face various threats, including overfishing, bycatch (unintentional capture in fishing gear), habitat loss, and degradation. Conservation efforts have been implemented to protect this species, such as fishing regulations, marine protected areas, and education programs.
