Call for Evidence on the Scale of Shark Fin Trade in the UK and Possible Impacts of Stricter Controls

The UK has a strong track record in marine conservation and places great importance on ensuring appropriate protection and management is in place for all shark species. Following the end of the Transition period we will explore options consistent with World Trade Organisation rules to address shark fin trade. In relation to this we are asking for evidence which will help us better understand shark fin trade and its impacts both in the UK and overseas.
