Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop, Wilmington
About this event
All federally permitted shark dealers must attend an Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop and obtain a workshop certificate before renewing their shark dealer permit. Dealers may send a proxy, in which case someone from each place of business that first receives sharks under the dealer’s permit must attend. A proxy must be currently employed by the business, and must identify, weigh or receive offloaded fish, or be involved in filling out dealer reports. First-time attendees must attend in person. Those recertifying can choose between an in-person workshop and the online course. Certificates must be renewed every three years and submitted with permit renewal applications.
