COLLECTORS RIGHTS Keeping your rights While Protecting the Environment

PROTECT OUR RIGHTS!!!!! FLORIDA FISH & WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION HAS WRITTEN A LAW (FL. ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 68B-44-008) THAT BY IT'S "UNINTENDED"WORDING BASICALLY MAKES MOST COLLECTORS OF SHARK JAWS & TEETH INTO CRIMINALS! THERE ARE NINE SPECIES LISTED UNDER THIS LAW WHICH WAS INTENDED TO STOP THE HARVEST OF SEVERAL SHARKS AND RAYS IN FLORIDA WATERS. WE SUPPORT THIS LAW BUT IT ALSO PROHIBITS THE SALE AND POSSESSION OF THESE SPECIES! THIS LAW DOES NOT EXEMPT FOSSILS OR SPECIMENS FROM OTHER STATES, OR COLLECTIONS OBTAINED BEFORE THIS LAW WAS PASSED! THIS MEANS THAT EVEN IF YOU PICK UP A FOSSIL GREAT WHITE SHARK TOOTH ON THE BEACH.... YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW! OFFICIALS IN THE FLORIDA F&WCC HAVE OFFERED TO HELP GUIDE US INTO CHANGING THE WORDING OF THIS LAW...BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP WE WOULD LIKE YOUR LETTERS AND COMMENTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. EITHER ADDRESS THEM TO: COLLECTORS RIGHTS C/O SHANGRI-LA GALLERY 601 W. INDIANTOWN ROAD JUPITER, FLORIDA 33458 or via email at either: collectorsrights@aol.com sharklaws@aol.com

Thank you for visiting. We are up and running but still under construction. Please help by passing this on to others. This law opens the door to further restrictions.
