The Sharks Coast Bill
Florida bans feeding sharks off its coast
Florida Safe Seas Act of 2025
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would make it illegal to feed sharks in Florida waters, stopping tourists from feeding them and protecting marine life.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The rule could keep sharks from getting used to humans, lowering the chance of attacks and preserving the ocean ecosystem, but it may limit some tour operators.
