The petitions cite concerns regarding the small estimated population size of white sharks in the northeastern Pacific and threats to the population such as fisheries harvest and bycatch, coastal development, pollution, and ocean acidification. In addition, the petitioners requested the designation of critical habitat for the NEP population of white sharks.
