As the world’s shark populations are forced towards the brink of extinction due to global demand for shark fin soup and other shark products, Shark Savers and Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics joined together to bring the message of sharks to the people of Hong Kong.

The first two weeks of June saw an intense pace of shark conservation activities by Shark Savers in concert with Lush. Each of Lush’s 12 stores in Hong Kong and Macau pushed Shark Savers’ pro-shark message by asking customers to sign postcards to the government of Hong Kong, urging them to ban shark fin soup and products in the municipality.
 
Update: California Assembly Bill AB 376
Geschrieben von: Kevin Sullivan   
Montag, den 20. Juni 2011 um 14:51 Uhr
 California Assembly Bill AB 376, which would ban the possession, sale, and trade of shark fins in the State of California, was heard before the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Water on Tuesday, June 14th in Sacramento. Testimony was presented for over an hour in the committee from both supporters and opposition of the bill.

Many California residents contacted the committee members to express their support for the bill prior to the meeting. This action was clearly evident in the Senators' responses to testimony. Shark Savers expresses our heartfelt thanks to all of you who took the time to contact Senators. Following the testimony, the committee members elected to postpone voting on the bill for two weeks, until June 28th, to allow supporters and opposition the opportunity to submit additional information.

Geschrieben von: Shark Savers

Yesterday afternoon, at approximately 12:45PM, Cynthia Aguilar, Shark Savers’ “ocean ambassador”, landed in Key West, Florida completing her quest to be the first person to cross the Florida Straits on a prone paddle board. Aguilar covered 103 miles in approximately 29.5 hours to cross the Straits.

Shark Savers, an international shark conservation organization, joined Aguilar for the crossing as a way to call attention to the ocean and its sharks. On the way over to the drop-off point near Cuba, Aguilar’s support boat crew spotted a bait ball (a ball of bait fish) surrounded by sharks. Rather than fearing their presence the crew took it all in stride as a good sign of a healthy ocean ecosystem.

Several news items about the feasibility of using sharks for biofuel have popped up recently, one targeting the little-known Greenland shark, and more recently, a project initiated by fishing industry research groups and companies targeting engangered mako sharks.

Shark Savers hat sich WildAid, Oceana und der Humane Society darin angeschlossen, in MUNI-Bussen in San Francisco eine Werbekampagne durchzuführen, um den Konsum von Haifischflossensuppe zu bekämpfen. Neben dem Ziel, den Konsum von Haifischflossensuppe zu reduzieren, soll die Kampagne auch das Bewusstsein in der Region der San Francisco Bay für die Problematik des Hai-Finnings wecken und die anhaltenden Bemühungen unterstützen, das Gesetz zum Verbot von Finning (California Shark Fin Ban, AB376) durchzusetzen.

 
Haifischflossensuppe ist keine asiatische Angelegenheit; es ist eine menschliche Angelegenheit
Geschrieben von: Sue Chen, Director, Shark Savers   
Dienstag, den 01. März 2011 um 21:52 Uhr
Ich habe Haifischflossensuppe gegessen – viele Male sogar. Ich kann mich nicht mehr an das erste Mal erinnern, aber an das letzte Mal. Woran ich mich noch erinnere ist, dass es normalerweise Teil eines großen Festmahls, oder eines besonderen Anlasses war. Ich kann mich auch noch daran erinnern, dass die Leute oft eine Sache aus der Suppe machten, sie aber nicht wirklich mochten. Vielmehr waren es die folgenden Gänge, die die Leute genossen und denen sie aufgrund des guten Geschmacks und der ansprechenden Konsistenz Komplimente machten.
 
Update on bills to ban shark fins
Geschrieben von: Shark Savers   
Dienstag, den 01. März 2011 um 13:55 Uhr
From one side of the Pacific to another, there are bills to ban the trade in shark fins. Many of these bills are inspired by the ground-breaking Hawaii law, but they all have their local flavors and have met with different kinds of resistance and amendments. Guam has passed a bill. California has a bill that is drawing much support, but is also meeting opposition. Oregon and Washington also have bills to ban the shark fin trade.
