Shark

Protection
In 2009, the Shark Conservation Act of 2009, passed the U.S. House of Representatives. A similar bill is pending in the 2010 U.S. Senate. The bill would strengthen existing shark finning laws.
In 2010, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species rejected proposals from the United States and Palau that would have required countries to strictly regulate trade in several species of scalloped hammerhead, oceanic whitetip and spiny dogfish sharks. The majority, but not the required two-thirds of voting delegates, approved the proposal. China, by far the world’s largest shark market, and Japan, which battles all attempts to extend the convention to marine species, led the opposition.
