Tell Fish and Wildlife to List Hammerhead Sharks Under CITES at CoP 16

  • by: KELLY ROGERS

Each year, tens of millions of sharks are killed by overfishing to supply the shark fin trade.

Among these, millions of hammerhead sharks are killed each year through the cruel and wasteful practice of shark finning. Shark finning is the act of removing shark fins and discarding the living shark overboard to drown or bleed to death. Especially coveted for their fins to make shark fin soup, hammerhead populations are literally getting hammered.
