The Issue

My name is Jerem Fernandez and I have lived in Florida my whole life. Our oceans are home to incredible marine life, but one special species is in danger; the scalloped hammerhead shark. These sharks play a huge role in keeping the ocean balanced by controlling fish populations, but their numbers are dropping fast due to overfishing and habitat destruction. They are often caught accidentally in fishing nets, and some are hunted for their fins. Without them, the ocean’s ecosystem could suffer. Florida’s waters have been a home to these sharks for generations, and it’s our responsibility to protect them before it’s too late.  

That is why I am asking for your support in protecting the scalloped hammerhead. We need stronger laws to stop overfishing and protect their habitats from pollution. By signing this petition, you are helping raise awareness and pushing for action to save them. The ocean is a huge part of Florida’s identity and losing these sharks would mean losing an important piece of it. Together, we can make a difference for this incredible species. Sign now and help protect the scalloped hammerhead shark before it’s too late!
