For five years, the Shark Alliance, European Union (EU) fisheries and environment officials, and members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have been discussing the need to better protect sharks. While safeguards to prevent shark overfishing are evolving gradually, the flawed EU regulation that bans the wasteful practice of ‘finning’ (slicing off a shark’s fins and discarding the body at sea) has yet to be amended. At long last, we are in the final stages of the crucial finning debate, but your voice is needed - now more than ever - to ensure policy makers resist industry pressure and protect sharks, once and for all.
