FINNING – the most brutal way of catching sharks
„Finning“ describes the technique of cutting the fins off the sharks body. Most of the times the fishermen do not waste time killing the animals – the cut off the coveted fins from the living shark. The animals sink, after being thrown over board, and die torturous.

Mit Sorge beobachten wir seit einigen Jahren die immer größer werdende Zahl von Hai-Tauchangeboten.
Tauchen mit Riffhaien gehört schon fast zum Standardprogramm von geschäftigen Tauchbasen, und es wird mit immer mehr Thrill geworben.
Haie sind tatsächlich völlig anders, als es uns die Medien immer wieder einimpfen. Im Gegensatz zu diesem Killerimage sind die meisten Haie dem Menschen gegenüber scheue, fast schon ängstliche Tiere, und die Gefahr durch einen Hai verletzt zu werden, ist statistisch fast nicht nachweisbar.
Annually during the Boot fair in Duesseldorf, Germany, Sharkproject awards the Shark GUARDIAN and the Shark ENEMY. On this page we want to give you a brief overview on these renowned awards.
