SM FL Saltwater Shark ID Card

Small format · Florida shark species ID card

The pocket shark identification card.

Shark regulations are strict and species-specific. A long list are prohibited from harvest entirely in Florida — great hammerhead, tiger, lemon, sandbar and others — and identifying them at 4am on a dark beach with a fish thrashing in the wash is genuinely hard.

A card in your pocket settles it in seconds so you can unhook and release without a mistake.

If you fish for sharks from shore in Florida you also need the free shore-based shark permit. Get both before you go.
