Red, White and Blue Shark

Today is July 1st 2013! Which means: Shark fins are banned in California! Thanks to many men and women, spearheaded by Shark Stewards.

Unfortunately there is a bill out there presented by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that would implement provisions by the SCA that would nullify existing state legislature to ban shark fins by creating federal loop holes. You can comment on this rule here. Search: NOAA-NMFS-2012-0092

Here are some shark facts to make your commenting on NOAA easier!
