Dried shark fins are fins that have been harvested from sharks, then cleaned, dried, and often traded for culinary purposes. They are a key ingredient in shark fin soup, considered a delicacy in some cultures. Concerns have been raised about the impact of shark finning on shark populations and marine ecosystems.
Shark finning is detrimental because it involves removing a shark's fin and discarding the rest of the body at sea, often leading to the shark's death. This practice is unsustainable and threatens shark populations, disrupting marine ecosystems. Additionally, sharks play a crucial role in maintaining the health of oceans.
Nothing, it is illegal to trade in shark teeth or products. ============================================== I am not finding anything that indicates it is illegal to trade in shark teeth or shark products. The U.S. and other countries have banned shark finning where the shark's fins are cut off and the rest of the body is tossed away - but that has not banned shark fishing. The sale of imported shark fins is not necessarily banned by the same countries that ban finning. I also cannot find anything that shark products are banned everywhere. That is a country-by-country issue. In the US, some states - but not all - have banned the sale of shark fins. So you need to check your local and national laws. Now back to the teeth. The value of the teeth will really depend upon size and condition. You can look at sites that are selling them to see what they are asking. You should definitely do more research.
A shark expert is often called an ichthyologist, marine biologist, or shark biologist. These professionals study the biology, behavior, and ecology of sharks to better understand and protect these important marine species.
In my opinion...it is mostly due to unfounded/irrational fear and ignorance. There are a great number that are killed "accidentally" by fishing nets and shark nets that are supposed to keep sharks away, but often do the opposite. Some are killed for meat (i.e. "shark steaks). There is also the deplorable act of "finning" for the lucrative, unsustainable, and environmentally destructive business of shark fin soup.

Shark finning mostly happens in Costa Rica where they use the funs as soup. And the shark fin soup is a sign of wealth. And we should stop this.
Shark finning is the practice of catching sharks, cutting off (and keeping) the fins, and throwing the rest of the shark back into the ocean. Shark fins are regarded as a delicacy in some cultures.
No. Regardless of whether a state is on the ocean, shark finning is illegal in the United States. What's more important now, especially in landlocked states, is whether trade of shark fins is legal. If it's legal to buy or sell shark fins in Nevada that will contribute to shark finning elsewhere, including other countries with lax laws. So far a few U.S. states have banned shark fin trade. I don't think Nevada is one of them.
Because people can make money from collecting, selling and trading with the fins.
It is illeagal to sell shark fins in the state of Tennessee . The law was made in 2010 even though we don't usually have alot food with shark fins in it the state wanted to be sure to indicate that it is wrong to sell,buy,or trade shark fins. Even though there is still shark finning going on Tennessee and california helped stop shark finning
Shark finning. ALL sharks are seeing a decline in numbers as shark finning is threatening their chance of survival.
yep. its Ilegall The other person who first answered/edited above is definitely incorrect. First of all around the world only 17 countries have banned shark finning around there coasts. Globally every other country than the 17 countries that have banned it it is perfectly legal to fin sharks. But besides these facts other countries there are some other countries that do have some regulations but are so poor that they are in essence useless... But to answer this question no, shark finning is not banned. -4545ninja
