This bill seeks to amend the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act by introducing a new regulatory measure. Its primary purpose is to prohibit the feeding of sharks within the exclusive economic zone adjacent to the State of Florida. The legislation achieves this by modifying Section 317 of the Act, which currently addresses similar prohibitions. Specifically, it expands the scope of this section to include Florida, placing it alongside Hawaii in terms of restrictions on shark feeding activities in federal waters.
