It's time to strengthen the finning ban
European Shark Week takes place every year, providing the opportunity for people across Europe to unite and raise awareness about shark conservation.
European Shark Week 2010!
9 - 17 October
The Shark Trust invites you to join us on the 9-17 October 2010, to celebrate European Shark Week 2010!
The Shark Trust, along with all European Members of the Shark Alliance, will again be hosting an array of fun activities and events for supporters and shark enthusiasts to learn more about shark conservation. Together we will continue to make our voices heard and raise awareness about the plight of sharks throughout Europe. We will call for all policy makers to take action and secure the future health of shark populations before it’s too late.
More than three years ago, the European Commission was asked by Members of the European Parliament (MEP’s) to strengthen the EU Finning ban, and yet today the EU Finning ban remains filled with loopholes, putting sharks at risk. In 2011, the European Parliament will be asked to vote on a new regulation that the Commission are currently drafting and we need to ensure that our MEP’s continue to push for the closure of these loopholes.
The Shark Trust needs your voice to add strength to this campaign. If you would like to get involved with this year’s European Shark Week and organise an event in your area, then please get in touch by emailing us at: enquiries@sharktrust.org.
Whether you’re an aquarium, organisation or a passionate individual wanting to take action, we are here to support you in the planning of your event. We will shortly be releasing a range of materials to help you celebrate shark conservation and all European Shark Week events will be promoted on our events section.
