Sailfish Marina and Resort, Palm Beach, Florida is owned by Carl H. Linder, number 586 in the list of the worlds richest men. As such, he has recently donated large sums of money to establish the Carl H. Linder Family Center for Reproduction of Endangered Wildlife at the Cincinnati Zoo and is known as a generous benefactor of the zoo. It seems a little ironic that the marina and resort he owns is responsible for the landing of critically endangered sharks, in the name of sport. It would seem that Mr. Linder is correctly intentioned, but perhaps ignorant of what goes on. In order to inform him, and to prevent further landings of sharks at Sailfish Marina, please sign the Shark-free Sailfish Marina petition.
