Endangered.

The great white shark is a "mackerel shark", allied to the porbeagle, and long finned and short finned mako sharks. The species is considered "Vulnerable", by the IUCN. Recently, numbers have shown an upswing, as more sharks than expected have been counted in South African, and waters off the coast of North America.
