"Finning"
...means to cut off totally or only parts of the shark´s fins. Often this happens while the shark is still alive. Generally the body of the shark (alive or dead) is thrown back into the ocean, because the fins need less load area than the whole body does. Source: www.sharkproject.org The cause Nation Online 06.03.2004: Sharks pay for lost swordfish market with their fins The "Seychelles Fishing Authority (SFA)" is announcing a dangerous increasing of chasing and trading with shark fins, done by local fishermen. This development was caused by an appeal of the EU 18 months ago, warning that the Seychelles` swordfish has a high level of cadmium. Thereupon the swordfishmarket on the Seychelles collapsed and local fishermen were searching for alternatives. The fishermen took up their activities to catch shark for their fins, which was rather unusual so far and is now a great worry to the SFA. For the local market catching swordfish plays a very important role, up to 65% of the catch consists of swordfish. Since the warning of the EU the export of swordfish has decreased from 411t to 200t, and the president of the SFA, Rondolph Payet, is fearing further serious losses. The Seychelles could go for alternative markets outside the EU but that would mean losing established advantages concerning custom. Also concentrating on other fish is hardly possible, as e.g. catching tuna is rather complicated and can only be done with best technical equipment and experienced tuna fishermen. Nevertheless the SFA wants to train the local fishermen how to catch tuna, and also to put pressure on the EU in order to make them retracting the statement about the danger of cadmium of swordfish, which concentration is after all less than that found in chicken kidneys, lamb or pork. www.seychelles-online.com.sc/archives/4020304.html The petition An den Präsidenten der Seychellen James Michel Dear Mr. President, The Seychelles are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on earth and worldwide they are famous for pursuing an exceptional foresighted ecological policy. Mainly that exemplary commitment convinces many ecological orientated tourists to spend their holidays on the Seychelles, though there is higher price level compared to other nations. Many tourists are willing to spend their money at the Seychelles instead of somewhere else, where prices are lower but environmentalism does not count that much. Now this balance is endangered! As we could get from an article in the Seychelles Nation Online, 06.03.2004 a trade with sharks fins seems to establish in order to compensate for the drop in turnover with swordfish. This is a worrying development and it absolutely does not fit to the ecological policy ran so far, which cared for endangered species, e.g. turtles. Many shark species these days are threatened by extinction due to excessive chasing, mainly done because of their fins. For this reason sharks need our help. A healthy and stable stock of sharks is absolutely necessary for an intact ecology of oceans, as already scientifically proved. But the trade with shark fins does not only endanger the sharks itselves. Moreover, the Seychelles, where ecological tourism plays an important economical role, are in danger of losing a main source of income: tourists! The absence of tourists means a decreasing standard of living for mostly all inhabitants of the Seychelles. It is obvious which effects on tourism are expected, when worldwide campaigns direct the attention to the Seychelles: not by showing its beauty but the cruelty of finning! All the exemplary commitment concerning environmentalism done by the government so far would soon be forgotten. The country would get a damage to its image which can hardly be corrected in the foreseeable future. This can´t be in the interest of the government of the Seychelles. Therefore we ask you to make the trade with shark fins punishable by law and also to provide resources and capacities to observe this law. As we know that you are open-minded to environmentalism we would be pleased if this petition will reach you and will make you acting so that the sharks´population and also tourism of the Seychelles will be saved sustainably.

Initiative zur Erhaltung von Haien, Rochen und Chimären SHARKPROJECT.ORG www.haiwelt.de Hai-Stiftung / Shark Foundation www.haiseite.de http://www.visiondive.com Stage of affairs August 2004 (development trend: negative) 1. Regardless of the upcoming protest catching sharks is booming at the Seychelles. Though once activated due to limitation of the export of swordfish finning has already gained momentum. 2. Potentially a black market for fin trade is just developing where around 70% of the volume is conducted at the moment. 3. The government does not really want to eliminate the trade but just to administrate (in the sense of enrichment) which could mean to intensify finning. Source: www.nation.sc Stage of affairs April 2005 (development trend: positive) The President of the Seychelles Fishing Authority (SFA): a law should be legislated which only allows catching sharks if the whole animal will be brought to the official “fishingport” in Victoria and will be commercialised completely. Finning itself should become illegal and contraventions will be punished. Furthermore efforts should be done to attract experts knowing how to commercialise skin and other parts of the fish in order to export these parts. There would be a usableness for nearly every part of the shark, like it is practised successfully in other countries but which requires special knowledge. Source: honorary consul of the Seychelles in Germany, Wolfgang Därr Stage of Affairs February 2006 (development trend: conditionally positive) Within the regulation on the part of the Seychelles government on February 20, 2006, shark finning has been banned on all foreign vessels licensed to fish in Seychelles waters. Seychellois-owned fishing boats are not affected by the regulation for now. A regulation for local fishermen will later be covered by a National Plan of Action on the conservation and sustainable use of sharks (NPOA-Sharks). This is currently being prepared by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MENR) and the SFA in collaboration with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the World Conservation Union (IUCN). The NPOA, which will ensure that sharks are fished in a manner which protects stocks for future generations, will be discussed with local fishing boat owner before it is finalized.
