Shark finning (Social Studies)

Shark finning is when people catch sharks and cut off the sharks fin. Once the fin is cut off they discard the sharks back into the ocean as waste, The sharks are still alive when put back into the ocean. Shark fins have been used in a soup that was made 1000s of years ago as a traditional dish in china, Shark-fin soup. It was quite an uncommon delicacy ingested by only the Chinese high class long ago.

If sharks were to go instinct this would drastically affect the food chain seeing as shark are quite high on the food chain and many plants and  in the ocean would die.
