Shark Finning Ban 2022


Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act of 2021

This bill addresses the sale of shark fins and the inclusion of rays and skates in the Seafood Traceability Program. The Seafood Traceability Program has data reporting and recordkeeping requirements at the time of entry for imported fish or fish products entered into U.S. commerce.

The bill makes it illegal to possess, buy, or sell shark fins or any product containing shark fins, except for certain dogfish fins. A person may possess a shark fin that was lawfully taken consistent with a license or permit under certain circumstances.

Penalties are imposed for violations under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.

The Department of Commerce must revise its regulations to include rays and skates as species subject to the Seafood Traceability Program.


What is shark finning?

The fishing practice of cutting off the fins of a live shark and dumping the shark back into the ocean.

Why is it wrong?

Shark finning has caused catastrophic harm to the marine ecosystem. Roughly 73-100 million sharks are killed yearly by finning. Several shark species are threatened by shark finning, including the critically endangered scalloped hammerhead shark.[wikipedia]

According to the Washington Post: link

"Late Thursday, the Senate approved language making it illegal, with few exceptions, to trade shark fins. The provision, which the House had inserted into an annual military policy bill, is now headed to President Biden for his signature."

 


The photo embeds used in this blog post are fully licensed and are free to share and embed to promote conservation and science.

Myths and mysteries of the Amazon River Dolphin.

Several myths and mysteries surround the Amazon river dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), also known as the boto, bufeo, or pink river dolphin. Keep reading to discover some surprising facts about these beautiful and enigmatic animals, such as their unique body shape and color, conservation status, and mythology.

Dolphins are commonly associated with oceans, but there are some species, like the Amazon river dolphin, that can be found in rivers. 

As their name suggests, botos live in the basins of the Amazon and Orinoco rivers of South America, which means they can be found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Venezuela.

Although Amazon river dolphins have the characteristic dolphin smile, their bright pink skin sets them apart from their marine cousins. 


But that’s not the only difference. Pink river dolphins have long beaks and rounded foreheads. And let’s not forget about their weight and length. An adult boto can weigh up to 450 pounds and grow to 9 feet in length, so they tend to be smaller than other dolphins.

Their pink skin is still a mystery. Experts are not completely sure why the skin of Amazon river dolphins has this characteristic color. What they do know is that botos are born gray and become pinker with age. 

A popular theory is that pink skin is scar tissue from fighting over conquests. Another interesting fact about this species is that females find bright pink skin attractive! 

Pink river dolphins also have a great ability to swim through the flooded forest. Thanks to their unfused vertebrae, botos can move their heads in all directions. This helps them check things out from every angle and swim between trees during the rainy season. In addition, botos use echolocation to identify prey and obstacles in muddy water.

Like many other animals, Amazon river dolphin populations are declining. This species has been included in the “Endangered” (EN) category of the IUCN’s Red List. This is the list’s second most alarming category, which means they may become extinct unless more coordinated actions are taken to protect them. Currently, humans are the only threat to these animals.

Human activities affect their home, what they eat, their ability to breed, and more. Dam construction destroys their habitat. Overfishing is reducing their main source of food. Mercury poisoning is affecting their health. And to make things worse, some fishermen intentionally kill these dolphins to use them as bait for fish or to keep them away from fish stock.

While some people don’t think twice before killing these dolphins, others believe botos have magical powers. Local people say it’s bad luck to kill these “sacred animals” and even worse luck to eat one. 

According to a South American myth, the Amazon river dolphin can turn itself into a handsome man when the sun goes down. Wearing white clothes and a straw hat, the boto seduces young women walking alone and impregnates them.  Before the sun comes up, they turn back into dolphins.

Another popular myth says that pink river dolphins can take lone swimmers to a magical underwater city called “Encante.” Local people avoid swimming alone in the rivers because they might never return to land again.



What’s your favorite part about these mysterious creatures?
