Registration Materials 

To ensure that workshop certificates 

are linked to the correct permits, 

participants will need to bring the 

following items with them to the 

workshop: 

Atlantic Shark Identification Workshop 

Atlantic shark dealer permit holders 

must bring proof that the individual is 

an agent of the business (such as articles 

of incorporation), a copy of the 

applicable permit, and proof of 

identification. 

Atlantic shark dealer proxies must 

bring documentation from the shark 

dealer acknowledging that the proxy is 

attending the workshop on behalf of the 

Atlantic shark dealer, a copy of the 

appropriate permit, and proof of 

identification. 

Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshop 

Individual vessel owners must bring a 

copy of the appropriate permit(s), a 

copy of the vessel registration or 

documentation, and proof of 

identification. 

Representatives of a business owned 

or co-owned vessel must bring proof 

that the individual is an agent of the 

business (such as articles of 

incorporation), a copy of the applicable 

permit(s), and proof of identification. 

Vessel operators must bring proof of 

identification. 

Workshop Objectives 

The Atlantic Shark Identification 

Workshops are designed to reduce the 

number of unknown and improperly 

identified sharks reported in the dealer 

reporting form and increase the 

accuracy of species-specific dealerreported information. Reducing the 

number of unknown and improperly 

identified sharks will improve quota 

monitoring and the data used in stock 

assessments. These workshops will train 

shark dealer permit holders or their 

proxies to properly identify Atlantic 

shark carcasses. 

The Protected Species Safe Handling, 

Release, and Identification Workshops 

are designed to teach longline and 

gillnet fishermen the required 

techniques for the safe handling and 

release of entangled and/or hooked 

protected species, such as sea turtles, 

marine mammals, and smalltooth 

sawfish. Identification of protected 

species will also be taught at these 

workshops in an effort to improve 

reporting. Additionally, individuals 

attending these workshops will gain a 

better understanding of the 

requirements for participating in these 

fisheries. The overall goal for these 

workshops is to provide participants the 

skills needed to reduce the mortality of 

protected species, which may prevent 

additional regulations on these fisheries 

in the future.
