 本期内容：

Sharks could soon become more numerous in Hawaii waters – and advocates say that’s a good thing. Lawmakers in Honolulu advanced a proposed ban on killing1 sharks in state waters on Wednesday. The law would provide sweeping2 protection for any shark, rather than select species. Sharks serve a critical purpose by picking off sick and injured marine3 animals and keeping smaller fish populations under control.
