As a spokesperson for The Humane Society of the United States, I am really happy to share this news with you. The organization recently teamed up with Shark-Free Marinas in a campaign to significantly reduce worldwide shark mortality. The effort, called “Shark-Free Marina Initiative,” seeks the support of marinas worldwide to end the captivity of sharks in marinas and encourage catch-and-release fishing. The initiative first began in 2008. Since then, dozens of marinas in the United States, the Caribbean and the South Pacific have registered as Shark-Free Marinas.
The HSUS strives to end the killing of sharks in sport tournaments around the United States and works to raise public awareness about celebrating ocean life instead of destroying it.
