About this deal

At CoP18 in August 2019, 18 species of sharks and rays—including shortfin and longfin mako sharks, six species of guitarfish, and 10 species of wedgefish—were added to Appendix II, thus gaining some trade protections. For the early part of the soup’s history, the entire shark was caught in the process of bringing the meal to the table. Scientists have also found that shark fins contain high levels of mercury and other toxic substances, which can pose a health risk to humans who consume them.

On the positive side, in recent years there has been an increasing public awareness of the shark fin trade and the need for conservation management of elasmobranchs worldwide. Substitutes for shark include imitation shark fin, konjac gel, various forms of noodles, and others. President Biden signed the bill into law before the 117 th Congress adjourned, prohibiting the sale, purchase, possession, and transport of shark fins or products containing shark fins. It could also mean that smaller boats, more numerous in coastal waters and harder to track than a handful of larger seagoing vessels, may play a more significant role. Additionally, consumers can make a difference by choosing to consume sustainable seafood and avoiding products that contain shark fins.Environment and Conservation Why cracking down on the shark fin trade may be easier than we thought Many shark fins used in a traditional Asian delicacy come from the coastal waters of just a handful of countries. Two Chinese American groups challenged the law in federal court, arguing among other things that it was discriminatory against the Chinese-American community. The process of collecting the fins routinely requires that the fins are hacked off the still living animal. Supported the Private Member’s Bill currently before Parliament banning the import of hunting trophies.

Removing sharks from the ocean can lead to an increase in the population of their prey, such as rays and squid, which can lead to a decrease in the population of their prey, and so on.
