The investigation obtained documentary evidence of fins from endangered shark species being openly offered for sale by over half of all shark fin traders surveyed in Taiwan’s southern fishing port of Kaohsiung. Of the 13 shark fin processing and trading companies visited, more than half were found to be trading CITES- listed fins, and seven had shark fins from CITES Appendix II-listed species as part of their product range. One company said "there was no difference in selling protected or unprotected species. Protected sharks’ products usually create a problem for international shipping only.” Check out our blog post for further information and to download the full report - 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙞𝙣 𝙗𝙞𝙤 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
