(3) Help stop Shark kill fishing tournament to be held in Fort Myers:
http://www.areyoumanenoughsharkchallenge.com/
A shark fishing tournament is being held in Fort Myers, where all participants are allowed to bring in one dead shark to be weighed in.
Other than the obvious problems, this procedure promotes killing of the largest and likely sexually mature sharks. Also, since each team is only allowed to bring in one dead shark to be weighed, this promotes each catching and killing sharks such that at the end of the tournament, each team only keep the biggest one to be weighed in, while discarding the rest.
Please write to the tournament organizers to stop this event and/or turn it into an ALL catch and release tournament:
