🎣🦈 Florida Keys Community — Your Voice Matters

💬 Be part of the solution — use your voice and share your experience.
Have you experienced sharks taking fish off the line? Seen changes while diving? Worked on the water as a captain, guide, charter operator, or dive professional?
Researchers from the University of Miami and FIU are coming to the Keys to hear directly from the people who know these waters best.
📋 The survey is now live!
The flyer QR code and the link below will take you directly to a short, anonymous survey where your experience can help shape real solutions for fishers.
This survey will help to better understand the problem of catch loss due to sharks in Miami and the Florida Keys. We are looking for practical solutions that work for fishers. It takes about 12 minutes to complete and your input is incredibly important.
Join us for an evening of conversation, food, and community as we discuss shark depredation in the Florida Keys and how it affects our fisheries, businesses, recreation, and marine ecosystem.
