I. Chapter 4 VAC 20-490-10 et seq., “Pertaining to Sharks”
The Commission proposes to amend Chapter 4 VAC 20-490-10 et seq., “Pertaining to Sharks” to establish a prohibition on the retention of shortfin mako shark within Virginia waters.
The purpose of these amendments is to ensure consistency in Federal and state waters and deter illegal harvest of shortfin mako to allow the species to recover.
