"The Underwater Channel cares passionately about the health of the world's oceans and wants secure futures for all marine animals. We believe it is completely unacceptable that sharks, which are one of earth's oldest inhabitants, are now being pushed towards extinction by man, one of earth's more recent residents.
On average in recent years sharks have accounted for less than ten human deaths annually in all the world's seas to fuel the growing demand for shark fins, man has been killing up to 100 million sharks each year. The Underwater Channel wants action and we are urging our viewers to contact the United Nations Secretary-General and request that member states be made aware of the threats to sharks and encouraged to put in place effective legislation to stop shark-finning, or more effectively police existing laws.
If there's no demand for Shark Fin Soup then there's no need to kill any more sharks. We ask that they be kept them in the oceans and out of our soup bowls!"
