So I just ran across this interesting slide show on the illegal shark fin trade. Basically what is happening is there is a practice of de-finning sharks and letting them back into the ocean with the belief that well its just a fin. Which releasing a wounded animal back into many ecosystems results in death.
To be honest I do not know that statistics on how many nor do I know all the details but what I do have to say is the continued practice of de-finning will have an impact on the ocean ecosystem. And of course the tie in with this to public health would be the environmental health aspect.
here is the link to the story and slide show.
