Miami News article against LBSF

couldn't find the article with that link

Is amazing how they got all those quotes from witnesses but none from the fishermen.

David Schiffman is an idiot biologist wannabe seeking his 15 minutes of fame at the expense of Florida's land-based shark fishermen.A charter boat captain can kill a hammerhead or a tiger shark out in Federal waters while a land-based fishermen does not have the same right,,,,,have we been DISCRIMINATED by new laws passed within the last several years or am I delusional? It's sad to see how these self righteous elitist students continue to come after the fishermen least able to defend themselves.

A comment from the New Times Magazine article

"David Shiffman is out of touch with reality! Most of these shark anglers tag for NOAA's Apex Predator Program. They need total, fork and girth measurements. It takes less than a minute to get the measurements! Shark angling today raises a lot of awareness for the sustainability of shark species since the general attitudes have shifted to conservation! I study bull sharks and I also do the field work of catching them for DNA sequencing. The University of Miami should learn to work with shark anglers instead of trying to attach themselves to this sharks publicity for attention by playing with the emotions of peoples good will. The force of us biologists can only go so far to raise awareness for shark populations, the headlines of big sharks being caught and released should not be condemned! It should be congratulated!"
