Hong Kong Shark Foundation

Hong Kong Shark Foundation (HKSF) is a registered charity dedicated exclusively to shark conservation. Every year over 100 million sharks are caught worldwide for their fins and other products. Hong Kong alone is responsible for 50% of the world’s shark fin imports.
 
We aim to raise awareness about the need for shark conservation and particularly the drivers of declining shark populations, such as the consumption of shark fin soup and the associated lucrative fin trade.

HKSF’s overall strategy is to work strategically with others to influence consumer behaviour reducing the demand for shark fin soup and to create a policy environment to enable regulatory change. 

Our focus is working with the government, corporates and the public with the aim of reducing mortality and ensuring these amazing species remain an important part of our oceans.
