Afraid of Sharks, or For Them?
Shark Stewards has catalyzed emergency regulations by the California Fish and Game Commission to limit heavy shark fishing gear on California piers and beaches. These regulations are intended to reduce attraction and habituation of dangerous sharks to nearshore waters, and limit bycatch of protected white sharks. While temporary, these regulations do not go far enough and should include banning chum and live bait and mechanical gaffs. We are appealing for these changes with the Fish and Game Commission and make them permanent to protect threatened sharks and increase public safety.
