Shark Fin Win!
On May 10, 2021, the culmination of years of lobbying by Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation, a significant shake-up of UK shark fin trade laws became a reality.
The official news that the government is set to ban the import and export of shark fins erupted in celebratory cheers at Bite-Back HQ. From the moment Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation first revealed the loophole in the law that allowed anyone to carry 20kg of shark fins into our borders, to the series of behind-the-scenes meetings with Lord Zac Goldsmith and DEFRA, the announcement is the culmination of six years of hard work by the team.
Bite-Back thanks all of you for your continued support and trust in us to successfully advocate for sharks and the marine environment.
