They are older than dinosaurs and even trees. Yet in just the last half-century, oceanic shark and ray species have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-020-03173-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>declined by 71%<\/strong><\/a>. Why? Because humans have overfished them \u2014 in large part due to the unsustainable global shark fin trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fins from up to 73 million sharks enter the international market each year \u2014 many destined for China and other countries where shark fin soup remains a delicacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, Oceana and our allies won multiple hard-fought victories to protect sharks, <a href=\"https:\/\/usa.oceana.org\/press-releases\/senate-passes-historic-legislation-banning-the-u-s-shark-fin-trade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>including banning the fin trade in the United States<\/strong><\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/peru.oceana.org\/comunicados\/peru-marks-new-milestone-in-the-fight-against-illegal-wildlife-trafficking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>new law in Peru<\/strong><\/a> that made illegal wildlife trafficking punishable under the country\u2019s Law for Organized Crime. This will empower prosecutors with more strategies, including imposing heavier penalties, to dismantle criminal networks of shark fin trafficking in the country. The United Kingdom also banned the import and export of shark fins last year. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora\u2019s (CITES) \u201cAppendix II\u201d was also updated to give <a href=\"https:\/\/oceana.org\/blog\/sharks-under-threat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>over 60 species of sharks<\/strong><\/a> protected status to cover nearly all the species found in the global shark fin trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this progress, there are still many challenges that remain to end this cruel trade and save sharks, which is aptly showcased in a new documentary from Al Jazeera\u2019s \u201cFault Lines\u201d program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film, titled \u201cTracking One of the World\u2019s Bloodiest Trades: The Shark Fin Hunters,\u201d first follows Evelyn La Madrid \u2014 an environmental prosecutor who is leading investigations into the illegal shark fin trade in Peru. The filmmakers shadow La Madrid on a raid where she and her team discovered a major fin trading operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Al Jazeera crew also travelled to Ecuador, where targeted shark fishing has been illegal for 20 years. Despite this ban, the documentary reports that \u201cnearly 75% of the shark fins that are exported from Peru actually come from neighboring Ecuador.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following an interview with a smuggler from Ecuador, the filmmakers go undercover in New York City in search of (illegal) shark fin soup. Spoiler alert \u2013 they were successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?si=IufJFeMnfWXjdYyV&amp;v=sEoi6iiKC34&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>documentary is one worth watching<\/strong><\/a> and is a stark reminder of the work that remains to be done to protect the ocean\u2019s top predator. In the United States, Oceana is calling on the National Marine Fisheries Service to increase meaningful enforcement of the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act. In Peru, Oceana\u2019s campaigning with our allies resulted in CITES sanctions, which ban all trade with Ecuador of shark and rays listed on CITES Appendix II. CITES authorities will also undertake a mission in Peru, which could result in the halting of all Peruvian exports of CITES-listed species that include many high value commercial products, like <em>vicu\u00f1as<\/em> and mahogany, if Peru does not comply with their recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The global shark fin trade doesn\u2019t just hurt sharks. Dr. Alicia Kuroiwa, an Oceana Marine Scientist in Peru, explains to Al Jazeera, \u201cWhat happens when you remove an apex predator from an ecosystem? The prey that were normally consumed or hunted by these predators begin to increase, to reproduce, and then they consume other things\u2026It is going to change the species composition as we know it.\u201d Put simply, sharks keep the oceans in check. Without them, entire marine ecosystems, and the people whose lives depend on them, are at risk. With your support, we will continue to win vital protections for sharks and dismantle the global shark fin trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sharks are ancient creatures, having roamed our blue planet\u2019s oceans for more than 450 million years.
