My brother-in-law Randall Arauz won the 2010 Goldman award for South and Central America for his campaign to halt the practice of maiming and killing sharks for their fins in Costa Rica. In 2004, Costa Rica was the world’s third largest exporter of shark products, including 8,000 tons of fins.
“Shark finning is not only cruel, it is irresponsible and unsustainable fishing at its highest degree. In spite of this, it has been close to impossible to attain any international binding management and conservation measures to curtail this practice.” – Randall Arauz
