Hai-Forschungsreise in den Golf von Mexiko Report by Shark Info The Oregon II, a former fishing vessel, is one of the research vessels of NOAA. © A. Godknecht / Shark Foundation In 1993 a Fish Management Plan was put into force by the U.S. for its coastal waters and since then the American government has been monitoring results with annual investigations. Part of the plan also includes analyzing the species composition and frequency of shark populations. In August Dr. Gaston D.
