A Glimpse into the World of Shark Fin Trade and Its Consequences for Marine Life (00015662)

❮ Shark Fin Trade: Exploitation of the Seas for a Delicacy ❯
▶

Description: The shark fin trade is a lucrative business that threatens the ecosystems of the seas. The cutting off of shark fins, known as finning, has dramatic effects on shark populations worldwide. The high demand for shark fins, especially in Asia for the popular shark fin soup, leads to a concerning decline in shark stocks. This illegal and cruel act not only endangers the sharks themselves, but also the delicate balance of the oceans.
