Wos, it's so great to see so many countries/places finally getting on board with the plight of this most misunderstood creature. Sharks are vital to the ecosytems of our oceans.

Oh and a little fyi for you, Toronto is one (big) step closer to implementing a shark fin soup ban:

one small step, but every step counts :)
