Costa Rica's Cocos Island National Park, nicknamed 'Shark Island,' has what might be the highest concentration of sharks anywhere. But even here, sharks are vulnerable.

  • @jeremias003 this is horrible.

  • Damn humans r like a virus (quote from Agent smith) The earth will not survive long enuff we will eventually have to find a new planet even b4 the earth goes into the sun.

  • Poor sharks. How would the poachers like it if someone cuts off their arms and legs.

  • tastes about the same as any other fish, maybe not as strong as tuna or salmon. but it's just "cool" because you know it came from a shark.

  • Shark Fins are delicious!!I eat a lot of those when i was in highschool..Shark Fins + Fried Rice...So delicious!!I missed those days!!

  • I ran a Dive business in Costa Rica for 3 years... And I have got to say that this Video is full of B.S.... For starters the coast guard scene is totally fake...I have been aboard the Costa Rican Coast Guard Cutters... They have a 50cal on the bow and are itching to use it...They totally would have blown them out of the water... But this video shows them on some dudes fishing boat instead... It's funny how stupid and gullible people are if they see the name "National Geographic"...

  • loll well I'm sorry if I'm "retarded" I was just curious about why they actually need to do that when there might be other alternatives, that's all.

  • oh yea just clip off his fin and let him live, just let him suffer. "You sir, are 100% retarded"

  • so they kill an entire shark, just for the fin? wow..

  • what's so special about the fins?
