policy 113 the largest supermarket chain in singapore ntuc fairprice and hypermarket carrefour will also be banning all shark fin products from its outlets before april 2012 114 115 united states edit national edit the king diamond ii was seized in 2002 while carrying over 32 short tons 29 metric tons of shark fins that were harvested from about 30 000 sharks the 106th united states congress passed the shark finning prohibition act of 2000 sfpa which was signed into law by bill clinton the act banned finning on any fishing vessel within united states territorial waters and on all u s flagged fishing vessels in international waters additionally shark fins could not be imported into the united states without the associated carcass 116 in 2002 in an apparent early success in stopping the shark fin trade the united states intercepted and seized the king diamond ii a u s flagged hong kong based vessel bound for guatemala the vessel was carrying 64 695 pounds 32 3 short tons 29 3 tonnes of baled shark fins representing the fins of an estimated 30 000 sharks making it the largest quantity of shark fins ever seized 117 this seizure was reversed in court six years later in united states v approximately 64 695 pounds of shark fins the ninth circuit court of appeals held that the sfpa did not cover the seized fins in this case judge stephen reinhardt found that the king diamond ii did not meet the statute s definition of a fishing vessel since it had merely bought the fins at sea and had not aided or assisted the vessels that had caught the sharks 118 as a result in january 2011 the 111th united states congress wrote and passed and president barack obama signed into law the shark conservation act to close the loopholes specifically the new act prohibits any boat to from possessing shark fins without the corresponding number and weight of carcasses and all sharks must be brought to port with their fins attached 119 120 additional legislation has been proposed to ban the sale of shark fins in the united states as well current national bans prohibit shark finning in united states territorial waters but do not ban the sale or purchase of shark fins that were harvested elsewhere 121 to combat this the 117th united states congress added the shark fin sales elimination act in the national defense authorization act for fiscal year 2022 which was signed into law by joe biden in december 2022 122 123 the act bans the sale purchase and transport of shark fins across the united states with a fine of up to 100 000 for each offense exceptions are allowed if the fin was taken lawfully by license or under other certain circumstances there is also an exception to allow dogfish fins although the bill has the secretary of commerce reviewing this exception by 2027 to recommend if it should continue or be terminated 124 125 126 state edit the shark fin sales elimination act enacted in 2022 banned the shark fin trade throughout the united states but before its enactment several states enacted their own measures to ban the shark fin trade with their boundaries before the national ban was enacted 14 states and 3 territories passed their own versions of the bill in 2010 hawaii became the first state to ban the possession sale and distribution of shark fins the act commenced on 1 july 2011 127 similar laws have been enacted in the states of washington 128 oregon 129 130 california 131 the territory of guam 132 and the commonwealth of the northern mariana islands 133 california governor jerry brown cited the cruelty of finning and potential threats to the environment and commercial fishing in signing the bill 131 opponents charged the ban was discriminatory against chinese the main consumers of shark fin soup when federal laws already banned the practice of finning whole sharks would still be legally fished but the fins could no longer be sold 131 in 2012 legislators in the new york state assembly including grace meng introduced a similar bill which passed in 2013 new york was not the only eastern state considering a ban but enactment there would be significant since its chinese american communities in chinatown manhattan and flushing make new york the major importer of shark fins in the east meng admitted that while she loved shark fin soup it s important to be responsible citizens younger chinese americans in new york did not consider it an important part of their culture it s only the elderly who want it when their grandkids get married they want the most expensive stuff like an emperor said one waiter at a chinese restaurant many businesses that sold fins had stopped placing new orders expecting a ban would be enacted 134 in april 2013 maryland became the first state on the east coast to enact a law against shark finning or the import of fins 135 subsequently texas illinois delaware rhode island and massachusetts had enacted bans on the possession and sale of shark fins totaling 11 states 136 137 in june 2017 the nevada legislature banned the sale or possession of body parts from sharks and several other endangered species and outlawed shark fin soup which was becoming increasingly consumed in nevada by visitors at casinos making it a hub for the shark fin trade in the united states 138 139 in january 2020 the new jersey general assembly criminalized the harvesting sale trade distribution and possession of shark fins becoming the 13th state to do so money generated from violations of the ban would be used to fund wildlife conservation in the state 140 141 142 in 2020 the florida legislature enacted the kristin jacobs ocean conservation act which banned the shark fin trade throughout the state 143 see also edit wikimedia commons has media related to shark finning chinese
