  • These fishermen are drying their catch of shark fins, destined to be sold for the lucrative shark-fin soup market.  High prices in recent years have encouraged finfishing, an extremely wasteful practice that involves discarding sharks' bodies once fins have been removed, often while the animals are still alive, resulting in a slow, miserable death by starvation.  Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar, Andaman Sea

  • A street vendor shows off his stock of sea turtle eggs.  Sea turtles are endangered worldwide, are officially protected in many countries.  In spite of this, their eggs are still collected and eaten in many parts of the world, putting further stress on dwindling populations. Sumatra, Indonesia, Indian Ocean

  • This gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos, appears to have been killed only for its valuable fins, then discarded, possibly still alive.
