Friend, 

As a lifelong fisherman and former marine scientist, I’ve experienced firsthand the impacts of shark depredation and have witnessed its effect on our marine ecosystem. To address this issue, I introduced the SHARKED Act, which will establish a task force to address the problems posed by increased shark depredation and research opportunities for improving the conditions of shark depredation.

With the passage of my SHARKED Act, we are taking important steps to conserve our marine life and protect sharks from unsafe conditions and food sources. I look forward to seeing my bill head to the Senate, and I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.

I will continue to work to conserve our marine life and improve sportfishing conditions for anglers. I love our great outdoors and believe we must ensure future generations of Americans can live, work, hunt, fish, and play in our beautiful public lands and waters.

Sincerely,
