Summary of the article
The Shark Conservation Act of 2009 seeks to eliminate the practice of shark finning in the U.S. Sharks can still be fished, but sharks can only be aboard a fishing vessel whole and with the fin naturally attached. This will decrease incentive for shark finning, which usually involves discarding the shark's less-valuable body at sea and causing waste of about 95% of the shark.
The Act will also support conservation of sharks worldwide by encouraging other countries to develop shark conservation programs and reduce shark finning.
Reflection
Before reading this article I have no idea of what is the Shark Conservation Act of 2009 but after reading the article I learn that the act is preventing sharks from going extinct.Sharks are also hunted for their fins in a practice call shark finning.Shark Conservation Act of 2009 was introduced to aid in conservation and demonstrate the importance of sharks to the U.S.We can help by supporting their act and finding more people to support this to prevent sharks from going extinct.
