The main purpose of this legislation, known as the Florida Safe Seas Act of 2025, is to enhance the protection of sharks in the waters off the coast of Florida. It aims to prohibit the practice of feeding sharks in the exclusive economic zone, which is the area extending 200 nautical miles from the coastline where the U.S. has special rights over marine resources. Key provisions of this law include a specific amendment to the existing Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
