You must report recreational landings of shark in Maryland by calling 1-410-213-1531. Sharks harvested but not retained must be released in a manner that will ensure maximum probability of survival. Do NOT remove the fish from the water. Sharks can be difficult to ID. Remember: If you don't know, let it go.
