However, that's a much larger endeavor, and affects many more stakeholders, including local (and currently managed and regulated) fishing efforts. Such a grand and overarching effort would involve a disproportionate amount of buy-in relative to the animals in question. In other words, just as Judy pointed out, sharks are most often killed for their fins, and ending that demand will save many more sharks than almost any other effort. This is something we can do NOW.<br /><br />If you'd like another analogy, think about recycling efforts. Does it make sense to hold back a entire recycling program until you have perfected a wastestream management in place for every single item? Not at all; you start where you can, and with an effort that you think will make a difference. In fact, whether it's with newspaper, glass, cans, or PET (1) containers, all municipalities involved in recycling start somewhere, and usually later add on.<br /><br />That's what we're doing here. We're trying to do the most effective (and absolutely necessary) thing.COAREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317295244593890162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336788145098909535.post-9142820730886800832011-05-16T06:59:24.020-07:002011-05-16T06:59:24.020-07:00Outstanding and thorough piece, thanks Christopher...Outstanding and thorough piece, thanks Christopher!<br /><br />Yvonne, I think Christopher answered that here:<br /><br />Claim: AB 376 targets only fins, and doesn't address other shark products.<br /> <br />Truth: This is true, but for good reason. It is the demand for shark fins that is fueling the rampant destruction of shark populations. Just as elephants were once hunted for their ivory tusks, sharks are often killled solely for their fins. If sharks were targeted for their nictitating membranes, as an imaginary example, this bill, as well we all the aforementioned legislation, would be addressing shark eye parts instead.Judy @APAOHAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336788145098909535.post-55614279941341366912011-05-14T00:09:44.211-07:002011-05-14T00:09:44.211-07:00Excellent post!
