📼 VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Scientists have discovered a new species of hammerhead shark, the shovelbill shark, which has been named Sphyrna alleni in honor of the late Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Paul G. Allen. The discovery was made by researchers at Florida International University, who used DNA analysis to distinguish the shovelbill shark from the similar-looking bonnethead shark. This discovery highlights the importance of collaborative research in marine conservation, as the research team involved local shark fishers in Belize, who were essential for data gathering. While this newly identified species is currently considered threatened due to overfishing and habitat degradation, Paul G. Allen's legacy of support for marine conservation through his foundation continues to advocate for the protection of vulnerable shark species and healthy marine ecosystems.
