Atlantic Shark Identification 

Workshops 

Since December 31, 2007, Atlantic 

shark dealers have been prohibited from 

receiving, purchasing, trading, or 

bartering for Atlantic sharks unless a 

valid Atlantic Shark Identification 

Workshop certificate is on the premises 

of each business listed under the shark 

dealer permit which first receives 

Atlantic sharks (71 FR 58057; October 2, 

2006). Dealers who attend and 

successfully complete a workshop are 

issued a certificate for each place of 

business that is permitted to receive 

sharks. These certificate(s) are valid for 

three years. 

Currently permitted dealers may send 

a proxy to an Atlantic Shark 

Identification Workshop. However, if a 

dealer opts to send a proxy, the dealer 

must designate a proxy for each place of 

business covered by the dealer’s permit 

which first receives Atlantic sharks. 

Only one certificate will be issued to 

each proxy. A proxy must be a person 

who: is currently employed by a place 

of business covered by the dealer’s 

permit; is a primary participant in the 

identification, weighing, and/or first 

receipt of fish as they are offloaded from 

a vessel; and fills out dealer reports. 

Atlantic shark dealers are prohibited 

from renewing a Federal shark dealer 

permit unless a valid Atlantic Shark 

Identification Workshop certificate for 

each business location which first 

receives Atlantic sharks has been 

submitted with the permit renewal 

application. The certificate(s) are valid 

for three years. Additionally, trucks or 

other conveyances which are extensions 

of a dealer’s place of business must 

possess a copy of a valid dealer or proxy 

Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop 

certificate. Approximately 37 free 

Atlantic Shark Identification Workshops 

have been conducted since January 

2007.
