Restore Marine Bio-Diversity By Preventing Shark Finning & Stopping Prize Fishing
In its report, Ever Wonder Adventure calls for decisive action to be taken against the consumption of shark fins.
The report also debunks some of the myths surrounding sharks, addresses some of their misrepresentations, and explains why they are a critical part of the marine ecosystem.
According to the Smithsonian’s Ocean Portal, around 100 million sharks are killed annually globally.
Though there are many reasons for this number, the primary reason is the high monetary and cultural value of shark fins, which can sell for as much as $500 a pound at market.
Shark finning—which involves capturing sharks, removing their fins, and then discarding their bodies back into the sea—is already illegal in many waters.
However, it continues to be a profitable industry in areas where it remains legal and with thriving black markets, generating between 400 and 500 million USD annually.
Ever Wonder Adventure argues that the practice of shark finning should be outlawed globally due to the ecological importance of sharks, among many reasons.
