Default Magnuson-Stevens Act Web Page

On January 12, 2007, President Bush signed the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006. The new law is groundbreaking in several respects: it mandates the use of annual catch limits and accountability measures to end overfishing, provides for widespread market-based fishery management through limited access programs, and calls for increased international cooperation. Bookmark this page for future updates on implementation of the law.

Page 96, Part 317:
Sharks:
No finning and discarding the carcass at sea.

Sooooo...
I guess that means they are still allowed to transport the shark as a whole to the plant and THEN cut the fins off and discard the carcass....

I really wish it said straight out, NO FINNING OR SALE/PURCHASE OF!
