What is Shark Finning?
Shark Finning, in simple words, is where there are people cutting off a shark's fin and then throwing its body (while it's dead) back into the sea. Leaving it to sink and while some sharks are still alive leaving they sink and die because it has none of their fins. The fins are used in China and Hong Kong, and by Chinese communities elsewhere in the world.
Why is it a delicacy?
Shark Fins are used to celebrate at celebratory events such as weddings, birthdays, funerals, (etc.). The Chinese make a dish called "Shark Fin Soup" dating back more than 1,000 years. The Fins are supposed to be similar to noodles. They simply don't have any flavour so they have to use Chicken Stock to give it some flavour. A bowl of soup can cost up to US$100 - ($138.65 NZD)
How is this impacting our oceans?
Sharks are Apex Predators. Sharks are very important because they maintain the species below them in the food chain. They also serve as an indicator for ocean health. They help withdraw the weak and sick.
