Shark fin soup ISN'T a lot of things... It certainly IS a disgrace though. 🤑🙄 . The dish originated about 1000 years ago with Song dynasty of China as a delicacy in the royal court. Over centuries it remained being popular, but only reserved for the elites. However, with the household incomes growing since the 19th century, so did the appetite for the prestigious soup... 🍜 . Fast forwarding to current age and between 72-100 millions of sharks are killed every year to fulfill the insane demand for their fins. The soup is a very expensive, traditional element of Chinese banquets and weddings, crucial to showing status and wealth. Ka-chiiing! 💰 . If people are so crazy for it, this soup must be phenomenal right? Not really 😕 Shark fin has literally no taste, it only provides texture, while the flavour actually comes from other ingredients... Actually many forward-thinking Chinese cooks around the world are coming up with substitutes for the fin and guess what - no one can taste the difference! . So the fin must have some medicinal qualities? It's an aphrodisiac, cures cancer and fixes your marriage problems? Of course not. It does have a lot of mercury though, which is obviously poisonous. 😳 . Legislatory changes across the world are extremely important (check out @stopfinningeu if you're a EU citizen), but what needs to change first and foremost is the demand. Say no to shark fin soup on the menu during weddings, parties, tasting, etc. Your voice and telling other about it matters! 📣 . 👉 Follow @freshnsaltyeco to get a clue in the blue! . . . #freshnsalty #clueintheblue #oceandecade #stopfinningeu #stopsharkfinning #sharkfinsoup #sharkfinning #protectthesharks #sharkfin #sharks #oceandecade #sharkeducation #sharksarefriends #sharksofinstagram #savethesharks #oceaneducation #marinewildlife #animaleducation #protecttheocean #oceanawareness #savetheseas #marinelifematters #savemarinelife #oceanconservancy #oceanminded #oceanconservation #sciart #oceanlovers #oceanlife #marinelife https://www.instagram.com/p/CPODzfbB5-H/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let’s kick off 2021 with a European region petition to stop shark finning through @stopfinningeu (I’ll put the link below). If you’re a European citizen, please please please sign the petition. No matter where you’re located, please consider spreading the word. We’ve seen a few victories in 2020 to help protect sharks - so let’s keep that momentum going and then some! Cheers to a conservation-filled new year!

ES|| Los tiburones están gravemente amenazados (incluso hay muchas especies en peligro de extinción) esto es debido sobretodo a su pesca indiscriminada para vender sus aletas. Y, aunque parezca mentira Europa contribuye enormemente y es una zona caliente de comercio de aleta de tiburón. Desde 2003 el finning está prohibido en Europa, y desde 2013 se permite pescar algunas especies de tiburones pero sin descartar el cuerpo. Sin embargo, la legislación europea sigue permitiendo el comercio de aletas a granel de especies no protegidas. Cuando se transportan solo las aletas la identificación de la especie es muy difícil, especialmente porque los envíos suelen mezclar diferentes tipos de ellas, lo que da lugar a que se comercie fácilmente con aletas de especies protegidas y de ejemplares capturados de forma ilegal. Los tiburones están en la cúspide de la cadena trófica y juegan un papel fundamental en el equilibrio marino, regulando y equilibrando la vida que hay en ellos y ayudando a preservar sus ecosistemas. Evitar la catástrofe medioambiental que supondría la desaparición de los tiburones pasa por poner freno a este lucrativo negocio. Para ello es necesario que Europa deje de exportar aletas de tiburón y no facilite el comercio a través de su territorio. Solo quedan 4 días para que finalice el termino para firmar la iniciativa ciudadana europea para proponer un cambio legislativo que prohíba el comercio de la aleta de tiburón. 🦈 Corred, animaros a firmar! Podéis encontrar el enlace y toda la información en @stopfinningeu_spain @stopfinningeu Os dejo la ilustración de un tiburón toro (especie en peligro de extinción) que quería hacer para evidenciar la belleza de los tiburones y el mundo marino, además de dar a conocer esta lucha. Más adelante os la enseño acabada! Información extraída de @stopfinningeu_spain

EN|| Sharks are seriously threatened (there are even many species in danger of extinction) this is mainly due to their indiscriminate fishing to sell their fins. And, oddly enough, Europe contributes enormously and is a hot spot for the shark fin trade. Since 2003 finning has been prohibited in Europe, and since 2013 it has been allowed to fish some species of sharks but without discarding the rest of the body. However, the European legislation continues to allow the trade of fins of non-protected species. When only the fins are transported, the identification of the species is very difficult, especially as shipments often mix different types of fins, leading to easy trade in fins from protected species and illegally caught fins. Sharks are at the top of the food chain and play a fundamental role in the marine balance, regulating and balancing the life in them and helping to preserve their ecosystems. Avoiding the environmental catastrophe that would mean the disappearance of sharks involves putting a stop to this lucrative business. This requires Europe to stop exporting shark fins and not facilitate trade through its territory. There are only 4 days left before the end of the term to sign the European citizens initiative to propose a legislative change that prohibits the shark fin trade. 🦈 Run, I encourage you to sign! You can find the link and all the information at @stopfinningeu I leave you with the illustration of a sand tiger shark (endangered species) that I wanted to do to highlight the beauty of sharks and the marine world, as well as shine a light on this fight. Later on I will show you this illustration finished!

Repost from @sharkallies Illustration by @jessicajaneillustrations @stopfinningeu still needs your voice! Although the required 1M votes have been cast to take the EU out of the shark fin trade, the more votes, the stronger the case. Only EU citizens can sign, but everyone can share!

#Repost @romonarobbinsreynolds @download.ins --- I think I met the sweetest shark in the world, Relentless. Relentless is a nurse shark that loves to be scratched on her snout. When you stop giving her affection, she will perk up on her pectoral fins and beg for more; hence her name. @jim_abernethy not only named her, but he showed us how sharks exhibit unique personalities.

If you’re in EU, please sign the petition (EU citizen’s initiative) to stop shark finning in that region. @stopfinningeu has all the details/info about how you can help and what this petition will accomplish. Please follow along with their campaign and do what you can. If you can’t sign, please consider spreading the word. They need as many signatures as possible to effect change on a government level (parliament).
