Just in the first months of this year, were captured more than 130 tons of blue shark. It is known that some shark unloaded in the ports of the Azores, is not heavy and registered, and is sent directly to the asian market for fins.
Most of this is done by international fishing fleets, mostly Spanish. Traditional fishing in the Azores is known for its moderate impact on ecosystems. This industrial fishing is destroying the balance of an archipelago considered one of the last paradises on earth.
We ask your support for this cause. The petition is in Portuguese so it can be discussed in the regional parliament of the Azores.

Posted by André Silveira (Campaign Leader) on Sep 19, 2012As Europe enters the final stages of debate on a proposal to close the loopholes in the shark finning ban, find out what finning is, why the current regulation isn't good enough and why conservationists, scientists, and an increasing number of countries in the EU and beyond support a policy of 'fins attached' with no exceptions.
