Malaysian State Mulls Shark Finning Ban After Boycott Threat
Sabah, a large Malaysian state, is considering banning the practice of shark finning after scuba divers threatened to boycott the country.
The Semporna Tourism Action Council proposed the ban because they believe sharks are largely responsible for the area’s booming touring industry. The council includes members of the Sabah Fisheries Department, Sabah Tourism Board, and even a representative of the World Wildlife Fund.
