Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Shark Management Measures; 2016 Research Fishery

The only commercial vessels authorized to land sandbar sharks are those participating in the shark research fishery. Shark research fishery permittees may also land other large coastal sharks (LCS), small coastal sharks (SCS), and pelagic sharks.
