Kuronekosan's Suggested Summary for Question 13:
Gruber and his team of volunteers at his research centre [A1] perform shark research and conservation. [A2] The volunteers execute most of the grunt work and hands-on research, [A3] spending long moon-lit nights, rescuing netted lemon sharks at Bimini’s North Sound. [A4] They cautiously untangle sharks and [A5] quickly deposit them for examination in a pen [A6] by weighing, measuring, tagging and snipping their dorsal fins for DNA studies [A7] to chart their pedigree. [A5] Then they are released. [A8] For some twenty-five years, Gruber [A9] has amassed the largest and most detailed database. [A10] He learns how sharks affect their environment and [A11] what they need from it confirms the life-giving nature of mangroves. Gruber is concerned with [B3] the complete destruction of mangroves via [B1] a controversial on-going North Bimini Island mega resort construction [B2] of condos, a marina and a casino, and proposals for a waterside golf course. [B4] Prized primarily for their cartilage-ribboned fins, [B5] approximately 73 million sharks perish annually as [B6] finners remove their fins and [B7] discard them callously in the ocean.
