Make the annual shark tournament 100% no kill.

The Issue

Due to the alarming amount of illegal activity and annual bi-catch, the number of healthy shark species has significantly declined in recent years. To ensure the survival of these amazing creatures, we need to take the necessary steps to protect them at every opportunity. The OC Shark Tournament can make a huge statement by going 100% no kill on sharks. The current regulations allow threshers, makos and blue sharks to be "boated". Let's make some waves, and keep sharks off the docks in 2013!
