There are a lot fewer of them around now than when I was a kid. The trend continues down as we keep doing mass commercial fishing the way we do.

Damn, that's a depressing Wikipedia article:

It is estimated that around 375,000 great hammerhead sharks alone are traded per year which is equivalent to 21,000 metric tons of biomass. However, most sharks that are caught are only used for their fins and then discarded. The meat of hammerheads is generally unwanted.

Maybe we should bring back hyping up Hammerhead Sharks again! Could bring awareness to their dwindling population.
