Here's a item you might be interested in.
BlueVoice.org executive director Hardy Jones was recently on the island of Rangiroa when two fishermen were caught finning two female lemon sharks. The fishermen became enraged at a female biologist who observed the event. One grabbed her by the throat and menaced her with a knife.
Shark finning is a very contentious issue in French Polynesia and a law has been written which would restrict it. But the law has not been promulgated.
Take Action!
You can inform the government of French Polynesia that you consider shark finning atrocious conduct and that it is highly unappealing to you as a potential tourist. Simply email a short message to that effect to the following:
