US Congress considers banning shark feeding
Southern Fried Science reports that a bill is currently being passed through the US Congress that would ban the use of food to attract sharks withn US waters. This would include using chum, or feeding underwater in any form. Perhaps ironically, Section 3 of S. 3099, the “Access for Sportfishing Act of 2016,” specifically states that shark feeding would be banned “for any purpose other than to harvest sharks.”
