Ocean Conservancy Applauds Shark Conservation Act of 2009 Bill Aims to End Wasteful Practice of Shark Finning 7 January 2009 Washington, DC Yesterday, Representative Madeleine Bordallo (D-Guam), Chair of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife and Oceans in the 110th Congress, introduced the "Shark Conservation Act of 2009," H.R 81. The bill is aimed at ending "finning" - the wasteful practice of slicing off a shark’s valuable fins and discarding the body at sea and encouraging international shark conservation. An identical bill was passed by the House of Representatives last year, but a companion bill in the Senate was not adopted. Ocean Conservancy strongly supports the bill.
