Other ways to protect the sharks and control the shark finning
1. Legislation: Although there are not any international catch limits for sharks, some countries are setting the agenda for shark conservation through their own legislation. In the U.S., the Shark Conservation Act of 2010, which was signed into law in January of 2011, makes it illegal to remove any of the fins or tail of a shark at sea, to be in possession of shark fins which are not attached to the body, or to receive from or transfer the fins to any other vessel at sea. 2. Law: Big media events such as Shark Week help educate the public about sharks and their mysterious lives under the ocean, but there are plenty of other opportunities for shark conservation education. Groups such as the shark alliance and shark angels are doing as much as they to take up these. 3. Support:Actively Supporting companies and helping them get worldwide could mean the difference between sharks and no sharks. Just saying, “hey you’re doing a great job to them could help to boost there moral. 4. Websites:Surfing online is great as you can simply type up something like, “save sharks” and you will be bombarded with sites and Charites who are supporting sharks and you can simply make a donation, volunteer or just get involved to make a difference. |
