The Hawaii shark fin ban goes into effect today. That fight was led by Chinese members of the Hawaii Senate and business community, Senator Clayton Hee and Vicky Cayetano, and fortified by the tireless efforts of Stefanie Brendl and a coalition of conservation groups, including Shark Savers.
As we have progressed in our own contribution towards reducing the consumption of shark fin soup, we have been meeting people within the Chinese community who have made this cause their own. We recently produced a short documentary film in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China with some of these pioneers. In this film, we interviewed individuals from all walks of life who have come to reject shark fin soup and appreciate sharks. Our film is still being edited, and you will meet these people in the coming months on this site. Kian Lam Kho
"We, as consumers, must also consciously make a choice not to eat shark fins if we were to succeed in preventing the extinction of the sharks". Tureen of vegie shark fin soup
