Also,
click on these links for 2 additional articles by David Boddiger of
the Tico Times that contain background information about:
why shark fins are in such high demand and
the relationship between the governments of Costa Rican and Taiwan (Taiwan is one of the largest consumers of shark fins and Taiwanese fishing vessels play a major role in the shark finning industry).
If
you haven't signed the petition calling on the president of Costa Rica
to take action to control illegal landing of shark fins, please click here for info on how to sign
and add your name to the list of over 10,000 Costa Ricans and people
from around the world who have signed. Thanks!
