That entire post wasn't just 'borderline' ridiculous..... it was absolute. Actually yes, with the continued push FL will be closing Tiger and Hammerhead (all species) recreational and commercial harvesting in FL state waters. As I type this the second nite of workshop talks are in progress in Dania Beach at the IGF Hall of Fame between the FWC and dedicated volunteers...SHARK SAVERS was instrumental in having Lemon sharks added to the Prohibited List in 2010, and the team is there tonite and other cities in the State thru June 30th working on the Big 3: Tigers, Hammers, and Bulls.
Out of all of this no one should be more upset than Penny herself, the actions of her support team have seriously marred her epic swim, and also her name. People sure know who Penny Palfrey is now, especially in the SCUBA/shark diving/environment/marine biology/animal rights circles. Unfortunately bad things happen so good things can > Oceanic Whitetips, a true pelagic species that is listed as Critically-Endangered will be getting some much needed help: a new awareness campaign/swim/documentary in the Cayman Islands which will be steps to getting them protected. That is the focus, at least for myself, coming out of all this. I can say that when I get in the water I truly AM swimming the good fight - For our Sharks. And I plan to go Fast......
