The conservation status of great white sharks is currently considered vulnerable. However, it is important to note that the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categorizes the great white shark as "data deficient," as there is insufficient data to accurately assess their population size and trends worldwide. While localized populations may face significant threats and declining numbers in some regions, such as the Pacific coast of the United States, the global population trend remains uncertain. Great white sharks are protected in many countries, and conservation efforts are being made to study and protect these apex predators.
