Mission & Goals
The purpose of the Association is the protection of animals, in particular the protection of marine ecosystems and sharks. Although many shark species are already threatened with extinction, sharks continue to be hunted for their fins in Europe. The aim is therefore to end the trade of shark fins in the EU.
EU Legislative Interests
The EU’s “Fins Naturally Attached” regulation states that the fins shall not be removed from the body of the shark at sea. However, fins may be cut off after landing, and this makes it possible to trade and export detached fins. To close these loopholes, new trade regulations must be introduced banning the export, import and transit of all detached fins of sharks and rays!
