(Text coped from Robert Delfs) A perverse proposed NOAA rule could gut state laws against importing, possessing, or selling shark fins, dealing a huge blow to global efforts to protect endangered and threatened shark species. It must not stand. The public comment period on this rule has been extended to 7 July. It is important for people to speak out about this outrageous attempt to use the Shark Conservation Act to nullify state laws that protect sharks. Go to <www.regulations.gov> and wait for the site to load.
