From what I recall it is expected that a certain number of while sharks will be caught in gill nets each year. Those that dont make it are taken to institutes for research on the species. I also seem to recall certain institutes having permits to kill X-amount of sharks a year for same reason.

White sharks are Federally protected however it is not international. Fines for killing them even vary state by state. Its kind of a weird one really.
