"SHARK FIN11 June 2011Workers process thousands of frozen shark fins at the Dong Gang fish market, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Scientists recently reported that as many as 90 percent of sharks in the world’s open oceans have disappeared because of a growing international demand for shark fin soup, especially popular with China’s expanding middle class. As the once ceremonial dish becomes more accessible, up to 73 million sharks are being killed a year and taken one in three shark species to the brink of extinction."
