It's really just to close a loophole. Illegal to do it but not illegal to possess a boat full of shark fins. How do u enforce that?

BTW it USED to be a cultural delicacy but now shark fin soup is relatively cheap n plentiful in parts of the world now Supply has definitely increased over the decades. Sharks r vulnerable to this practice. What's the prob w this ban? It's good for fishermen in my opinion.
