*Shark Management Public Forums*

The Maine DMR will be holding two public forums to present ongoing shark research and discuss the public's vision for the future of shark management in Maine.

*Shark Research*

As part of the Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Research, the DMR collects data on sharks in the Gulf of Maine. DMR biologist Matt Davis will be highlighting some of this research as well as other projects occurring in the Gulf of Maine. Information on DMR HMS Research can be found HERE [ [link removed] ].

*Shark Management*

Coastal sharks are managed by NOAA Fisheries [ [link removed] ], the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission [ [link removed] ] (ASMFC), and the State [ [link removed] ]. In the past year, the topic of sharks in Maine waters has grown as a topic of interest. The DMR is interested in the public's thoughts on the future of shark management in Maine. This may be regarding any aspect of shark management including: recreational fishing, commercial fishing, complimentary NOAA or ASMFC rules, or even public safety.
