“…Sites like the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, Cocos Island in Costa Rica and the Revillagigedo Archipelago in Mexico are world‐famous national parks for hammerhead sharks in abundance. These sites are protected due to the great biological diversity found at these locations, their natural history, international relevance, expansion of the national territory of each country and their economic importance for tourism such as scuba diving (Aldana Moreno et al ., 2020; Bessudo et al ., 2011; Estupiñán‐ Montaño et al ., 2021; Ketchum et al ., 2014; Lara‐Lizardi et al ., 2020; Nalesso et al ., 2019; Prus, 2013). On the contrary, the potential nursery areas are close to human settlements on the coastline, where fishing is the main economic activity; therefore, conservation efforts have historically been very complicated and ineffective (Zanella et al ., 2019).…”
