European Shark Week – Conservation and Environmental Protection

This week is European Shark Week. Defend threatened sharks:
Help stop overfishing and finning now!

  • The UK is one of five EU member states to allow fishermen to remove shark fins at sea under an exception to the EU finning ban.
  • At least 30 species of sharks can be found in British waters, over half these species are threatened with extinction.
  • An EU Shark Plan is in its final stages; your support is key to protecting sharks in Europe and beyond.

You can make a difference

Ask your fisheries/environment minister to promote and implement a strong EU Plan of Action for shark conservation by signing the petition.
