Petition in Opposition to Draft Rule Amendment 68B-44, F.A.C. (Shark Rule) and Support for Reporting Requirements

We the undersigned are opposed to the draft rule
amendment of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission’s (FWC) shark rule 68B-44, F.A.C. that would
prohibit the recreational and commercial harvest of great, scalloped
and smooth hammerhead sharks, and tiger sharks from state waters of Florida.
We believe the current bag limits of 1 per person or 2 per vessel, whichever is
less, are adequate to sustain the fishery. We further believe that there is insufficient s
cientific data to demonstrate the need to close this fishery.

As an alternative to the prohibition on the harvest of
these sharks, we support the deferment of rule adoption,
and institution of reporting requirements (similar to that for billfish)
on all harvested sharks. Such reporting will provide reliable
data on the harvest of these animals in state waters of Florida,
and provide a scientific basis for future management decision-making.
The undersigned certify that we are at least eighteen (18) years
of age and are residents of Florida.

I would be shocked if you will get much support for that here as the majority on this site want a no kill for hammers and tigers. You are entitled to your opinion however I don't support it.

I was just looking to see what people thought it wasnt meant to offend anyone. Im
all for no kill. It was sent to me thought i would just share.

It was probably written up by one of these self proclaimed 'sportsmen'... The ones that need to kill large animals in order to make up for other areas that may be lacking.

I have to go along with the rest of the gang. I see no reason to harvest any fish you don't intend to eat. I spent a good deal of time in my youth dragging baits out for Herb Goodman may he rest in piece and a photo was good enough for him in most cases.
