Shark fining

During social studies we have been learning about sustainability and the ocean, This week I have learned about shark fining is why people do it and how does it affect our planet. 

So what is shark fining? Shark thinning is where someone would take a shark and cut off its fins and discard them back into the ocean. Just by taking the shark out of the ocean, it is suffering because it starts to suffocate without air. When the fishermen cur off their fins the sharks are in agonizing pain then once they are disposed of into the ocean they suffer a slow horrible death.

 Why is this a delicacy? People from japan to china and all over the world find that shark fining is considered a  delicacy and should be celebrated at celebratory events such as weddings, birthdays, funerals, (etc.). The reasoning behind why they think this is a delicacy is because what they do with the shark thins. After cutting off their thins they then ship the thins to markets or black market's so they can be turned into a soup that is considered to have special properties. The soup can be priced up to $100 or more. 

This impact's our ocean in many different way's. We have already addressed that shark thinning makes the shark suffer but we have not addressed how it has an impact on sea life. With my demands of shark thin soup or shark meat product's our shark's are becoming an endangered species. So Hypnotically let's say human's don't make a change and carry on killing shark's into intinction what does that mean? Sadly this mean's all our fishes die out. Shark's are on top of the food chain for marine life so once sharks die out the next the fish species be low them become the top of the food chain, So now they don't have a predator to hunt them these fish then eat there prey into intinction. Since they ate there food they die out from starvation and this goes on and on down the food chain until there is no more fish in the sea. Now there is no more fish we have lost half of our resources for half out land animals including us. 

So in conclusion shark's are important because they are just impotent as bees. Since sharks control the marine life we know without them it becomes chaotic
