A great write up by WUFT/NPR on SB680’s passage this past week. “‘We’re very happy with the bill,’ said Stefanie Brendl, executive director of Shark Allies, a shark advocacy non-profit based in Hawaii. ‘The important part is that the imports are banned from now on and the enforcement can be increased,’ she said. ‘That was the biggest problem…. I’m thrilled that we found that place of agreement,’ she said. ‘Both sides feel like they gave more than they should have, and you know the old yarn — when that happens, you know you have a good bill.’”
