Federally-permitted shark dealers enter species-specific data into dealer reports, which are used to establish and monitor shark quotas, and to conduct shark stock assessments. It is important that fishery scientists and managers have the most reliable data possible for assessing the status of shark stocks and for formulating appropriate fishery management strategies based on this information, both to prevent overfishing and to rebuild shark stocks that are already overfished. Shark dealers are required to obtain a NMFS Atlantic shark identification workshop certification to renew or apply for a Federal shark dealer permit.
