PETALING JAYA: Conservation groups are calling for all species of sharks to be protected, saying that these animals are worth more alive than dead to Sabah’s estimated over RM200mil diving industry.

Sabah Shark Protection Association chairman Aderick Chong said all species of sharks should be listed for protection under federal or at least state laws.
