                        humans at all.</B></A> In fact, research suggests that 
                        40% of sharks are actually caught on the <I>inside</I> 
                        of the net, closer to land!<BR><BR>These nets aren't 
                        just useless at protecting humans. <B>They're actively 
                        dangerous to sharks and other species.</B> In a single 
                        year, over 250 marine creatures were caught in the nets, 
                        and <B>only 36% were released alive. Over 90% of animals
