I'm worried that if i reel something up in the ocean it will be illegal can you give me some endangered specie

Question

I heard sharks are protected so also tell me if they are protected and add pictures if you can.

Answer 1

Just about every creature in the sea is under threat due to human greed and ignorance.  We know less about the oceans than we know about the surface of the moon.

Answer 2

Generally, a species is endangered because it is quite rare. Your chances of hooking an endangered fish are very low. Fish and enjoy it. Not all sharks are protected.  

Answer 3

Well there's hundreds of species that are illegal to take, and only a few that are legal.  Instead of the impossible task of listing everything illegal, just study what is legal to take.  Anything else, you throw back.

Answer 4

Practically every species is suffering from some level of overfishing. The simple answer is don't fish if you don't have to. Or call up a local fisheries agency and see if you can help tag fish or something like that
