Save a Shark Defense Fund
Randy Jordan:
This February, I was ticketed by the Florida Wildlife Commission for allegedly conducting Shark provisioning dives within State Waters. The sting was dubbed, Operation Bite Me by the officer in charge. A class 3 misdemeanor usually carries a small fine and is dismissed. Although we have clear evidence that I am innocent, the FWC will not let go and seems to have made it a personal attack. If I am found guilty, I could serve jail time and pay fines, court costs and investigation expenses. I am seeking donations to create a $20,000.00 fund so I can proceed with my fight. Shark feeding is done in waters nowhere near any beaches or people unlike chumming and catching sharks off the beach. Yet, the FWC has chosen me as their poster bad guy. My feeding a educate divers and has received enormous positive feedback from many shark conservationists. Once people see Sharks are not the crazed killers portrayed by Hollywood, they sympathize with their plight. We kill over 100 million a year for no purpose. Help me bring awareness and education to the world.
