Florida shark diving industry faces uncertainty as Safe Seas Act advances

The Florida Safe Seas Act, a proposed legislation, aims to ban shark feeding in U.S. waters except for fishing, raising concerns about the future of Florida's $300 million annual shark diving industry. Supporters argue it enhances beach safety, while critics claim it lacks scientific backing and favors the fishing industry. Commercial shark dive charters operate offshore, but the bill permits shark fishing from shore, sparking debates over its effectiveness and fairness.
