Illegal Shark Hunting (EDM2765)

Illegal Shark Hunting

EDM number 2765 in 2005-06, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 17/10/2006.

That this House notes with concern the number of sharks which are being hunted in the Pacific Ocean; further notes that sharks are being pushed to the verge of extinction while illegal fishing companies are making a lucrative business out of hunting sharks and selling their fins which are sold throughout Asia for the popular dish of shark fin soup; recognises the scale of the problem as fishing vessels come from as far away as Japan to hunt sharks; and calls on the Government to work with EU partners to introduce a new international agreement in order to protect threatened species of sharks.

This motion has been signed by a total of 57 MPs.
