Population status and trends
Despite a general scarcity of data on the Great White Shark's population size, there appears to be an overall, long-term decline in abundance of Great White Sharks in Australian waters. Globally, there has been a reported decline of between 60-95% in Great White Shark numbers in the last 50 years. Detailed information and references on the population status and trends of the species can be found in Australia and Madagascar's Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES) Appendix II nomination. no one seems to know how many great white shark there are in the ocean. they say the population is down but do they realy know?

I found this in a search:
It is unclear how much a concurrent increase in fishing for great whites had to do with the decline of great white population from the 1970s to the present. No accurate numbers on population are available, but populations have clearly declined to a point at which the great white is now considered endangered. Their reproduction is slow, with sexual maturity occurring at about nine years of age, such that population can take a long time to rise.

The larger of the great-whites can hold one resident,assuming that said resident hasn't been too badly maimed while being ingested.
But because of the sharks mobility (and therefor no discernable zip code) that one resident of the great-white cannot have an actual address.He or she must get a post office box,and hope that they survive the experience long enough to pick up their mail.

Never heard of a town by that name. ;-D
Seriously, Great Whites are on the endangered species list - I believe. There may be only a few thousand in the ocean.

They are dieing out.
Isn't that sad?
I will have to hurry, I want to eat one in a sandwich.
Seems only fair to me.
