Brantford, a city in southwestern Ontario, became the first Canadian jurisdiction to ban shark fin products. Hawaii and Washington State have already passed legislation banning shark fin products. Shark fins are used in a soup that is often served at traditional Chinese weddings. The ban on any use of shark fin will impose fines ranging from $5,000 for a first offense to $100,000 for a third offense. European Parliament also Supports Strengthening the EU Finning Ban.
