Bill Addressing Growing Conflict Between Sharks and Fishermen Clears House |
|
In both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, sharks are increasingly intercepting fish being landed by recreational and commercial fishermen, creating frustration for anglers and challenges for fisheries sustainability. Fortunately, a bill recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives will create a task force of experts to explore shark depredation and develop recommendations on how to avoid or mitigate shark interference with important recreational and commercial fisheries. | | |
