STOP COMMERCIAL SHARK FISHING IN FLORIDA FOR JAN 2016!

Our beautiful ocean needs your help! Shark numbers are depleting rapidy and the oceans need them in order to maintain a healthy ecosystem. It is estimated that at least 100,000,000 sharks are culled for various reasons annually; mostly for their fins. That is 3 sharks per second. At this rate, sharks will become extinct within our lifetime.

Sadly the NOAA has ruled to open commercial shark killing in FLORIDA on Hammerheads, Tiger sharks, and Lemon sharks starting January 1, 2016. Every single commercial fishing vessel can kill 36 per day. In January, Lemon sharks begin to aggregate in large numbers and this will result in complete decimation if this does not stop.
