The news is hitting home. A recent scientific report investigates the DNA from different shark populations looking for linkages and notes that the dusky shark, a species that reproduces off of Virginia's coast, is heavily impacted by the shark fin trade.

It is important to note that it is essential we try to protect the species that reproduce off our coasts since once they are out in the high seas there is no way to properly/effectively regulate and conserve.
