The captain told the tourists and officials that he'd found an illegal shark fishing operation, but left out that it was clearly marked as legal and permitted.

Exhibit from the case of Jupiter shark diving captain and mate John Moore and Tanner Mansell, who were convicted of theft of commercial fishing gear in federal waters. Moore and Mansell led a group of six tourists out into the water in August 2020 to swim with sharks off, federal prosecutors said. While boating to their second dive spot of the day, Moore and Mansell saw a clearly marked orange buoy that designated a commercial fishing gear set.
Moore called state officers and said he’d found an illegal shark fishing operation and cut entrapped lemon sharks out of the line. But he left out that the line was attached to a properly marked buoy, according to prosecutors.
