NOAA: STOP Commercial Shark Fishing Set For January 1, 2016!

Off the coast of Florida, shark aggregations begin in January each year. Last year, the slaughter of our shark populations nearly wiped them out! With shark fishing already having decimated much of the worldwide shark population, this is the last thing we need! Help stop this from happening again January 1, 2016.

read petition letter ▾ Please help save our wonderful shark populations from senselessly being slaughtered as authorized by NOAA to begin January 1, 2016. Delaying the commercial fishing season until July will make a huge difference to these animals. Without your help, our lemon sharks, tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks, etc. may be wiped out in just a matter of days. We desperately need your help to prevent it from happening. Thank you!
