Bill overview
This bill, the Supporting the Health of Aquatic Systems through Research Knowledge and Enhanced Dialogue Act (SHARKED Act), aims to improve the management of shark depredation – the consumption of fishing catches by sharks. It directs the Secretary of Commerce to establish a task force comprised of experts from fisheries management councils, marine fisheries commissions, and coastal states to identify critical needs and research priorities related to this issue. The bill also requires NOAA to prioritize research projects focused on understanding the causes and impacts of shark depredation, as well as developing strategies to reduce harmful interactions between sharks and humans.
