FWC classifies Carolina hammerhead as a prohibited species
At its November meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved classifying the Carolina hammerhead as a prohibited species within Florida state waters.
This rule will help mitigate identification challenges associated with other prohibited shark species and promote conservation for large coastal hammerheads.
