Marinas in the USA will receive 2 dock signs

What's the difference between classifications?

• A Shark Friendly Marina or Business discourages killing or landing sharks.
  They do not serve shark products or promote activities that intentionally harm sharks
• A Shark-Free Marina does not allow sharks to be killed and landed from their facility
  This is a ZERO TAKE policy

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.
