(1) the bag and possession limits for sharks in salt water is one fish;
(2) the annual limit for sharks in salt water is two fish;

(A) for a licensed angler is located on the back of the angler's sport fishing license;
(B) for an angler not required to have a sport fishing license may be obtained, without charge, from department offices and sport fishing license vendors throughout the state; and
(4) immediately upon landing a shark from salt water, an angler shall enter the date, location (water body), and species of the catch, in ink, on the harvest record.
(c) The provisions of (b) of this section also apply in the adjoining waters of the exclusive economic zone.
