WHY SHARKS?
Shark fishing is largely unregulated around the world. Overfishing, bycatch and finning – slicing off sharks fins and
throwing away the body at sea - kill thousands of sharks every day. Project AWARE helped close loopholes in the EU finning ban and secure international trade protections for 8 of the world’s most vulnerable sharks and rays.
But, to ensure the survival of sharks, stricter, enforceable controls are
needed for more species at national, regional and
global levels.
