Résumé

This Act makes amendments in the Principal Act regarding the prohibition of catching, possession, sale and trade of sharks. To this end, any person shall catch, capture or intentionally engage in fishing for sharks or retain or be in possession any part thereof or intentionally remove the fins or tail of any shark or otherwise mutilate or injure on land or within the fisheries waters of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. This Act allows conducting research on sharks only by the holders of a license or permit from the Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority. Furthermore, this Act permits fishing for shark for subsistence use, provided that no person shall harvest shark that has been declared as protected species. Moreover, this Act lays down regulation imposing restrictions or catch limit on all or certain species, and provision on penalties for the contravention to these prohibitions.
