The Secretariat of
Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA) has set
up a permanent ban on white shark fishing in national waters under federal
jurisdiction, which will take affect January 28, 2014. In addition, any sharks
that are caught incidentally, whether recreationally or commercially, shall be
released back into the ocean. Enforcement of this new policy will be carried
out by the Navy and SAGARPA through the National Commission of Aquaculture and
Fisheries (CONAPESCA).
