Hi everyone! Today in Social Studies we are looking at Shark Finning. What is Shark Finning? Shark Finning is a gruesome practise of cutting off a live shark's fins and throwing the rest of the animal to the sea. It is used in a traditional Chinese dish that exists 1000 years before and it is called Shark-fin soup. It is considered a rare delicacy consumed by only the Chinese high class back in the day. Definition of Delicacy is something rare or expensive that is eaten during special occasions.
How is this impacting our ocean? If Sharks go instinct and disappear. The food chain cycle would collapse and the ecosystem would be broken. Especially, Sharks are top of the food chain. Therefore, we must put a stop to this problem. However, there is a new problem rising which is where humans are looking at how they could make a dish out of shark meat. With that in addition, it will likely reduce the population of sharks even further. Let's just hope in the future it won't be too late.
