What's the difference between classifications?
- A Shark-Free Marina does not allow sharks to be killed and landed from their facility
This is a ZERO TAKE policy - A Shark Friendly Marina or Business discourages killing or landing sharks.
They do not serve shark products or promote activities that intentionally harm sharks
Why have two classifications?
We'd like to register every marina as Shark-Free, however, some State laws or private companies have policies that do not allow for a complete ban on killing sharks. In these cases we offer the Shark-Friendly classification which discourages the intentional killing of sharks.
This allows for educational materials and participation in a conservation program by facilities which would otherwise not have access to our program.
