    Simple Explanation

    The government is having free classes to teach people who catch and sell sharks how to tell different types of sharks apart and how to handle them safely without hurting them or other sea animals. These classes are important because some people have to attend them to keep their permits, which are like special permission slips to do this kind of work.
