The Australian Government is proposing to declare an approved wildlife trade operation for the harvest of hammerhead sharks. Hammerhead sharks are at high risk of extinction due to human activities such as overfishing and the brutal shark-fitting trade. Any government sanctioned increase in the catch-quater would exploit the species even further. In order to protect Australia's diverse range of hammerhead shark species, we are urging the Australian Government to ban the export of endangered sharks and shark fins. A ban on the trade will serve to ensure sharks aren't fished for the value of their fins and reduce the incentives for shark fishing across the country.
