From James Cook University in Australia, 22 July 2020:

A massive global study of the world’s reefs has found sharks are ‘functionally extinct’ on nearly one in five of the reefs surveyed.

He said of the 371 reefs surveyed in 58 countries, sharks were rarely seen on close to 20 percent of those reefs.
