FWC classifies oceanic whitetip shark as a prohibited species
At its September meeting, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved classifying oceanic whitetip shark as a prohibited species within Florida state waters.
This rule will make Florida’s state regulations consistent with federal regulations, promote conservation, and support coordinated interstate and international efforts to rebuild the threatened oceanic whitetip shark population.
