Look but don't touch. Wildlife laws protect sharks from Divers and Fisherman. Wildlife management game laws were created to curb and police criminal acts by scuba divers and fisherman. We ask divers to boycott boats, captains, instructors, divers and businesses that break Florida law by feeding or baiting fish for amusement and to avoid shark conservation awareness scams, the Big Lie. Report violations of law to the FWC by calling the Wildlife Alert hotline at 1-888-404-3922. You can also text or email Tip@MyFWC.com.
