It’s no accident that a shark-related bill moving quickly through Congress was introduced by legislators in coastal states, where the problem of sharks stealing fish off anglers’ lines has become commonplace.⁠ ⁠ The bipartisan SHARKED Act stands for Supporting the Health of Aquatic Ecosystems through Research, Knowledge, and Enhanced Dialogue. It would establish a task force for understanding and dealing with the rise in shark depredations that saltwater anglers and charter captains say is a real concern. If the bill becomes law, it would establish a task force made up of state and federal fisheries managers, as well as researchers, marine biologists, and other shark experts. The goal would be to understand why sharks are so frequently depredating hooked fish and explore ways to minimize those interactions.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #shark #sharks #sharkedact #sharked #fishing #fishingseason #fishingtrip #inshorefishing #offshorefishing #outdoors #nature #outd...
