Plain-English summary
Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the practice of removing the fins of a shark and dumping its carcass back into the ocean, commonly known as shark finning, is a wasteful and unsportsmanlike practice; (2) the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council, the State of Hawaii, and the National Marine Fisheries Service should promptly and permanently end such practice in all Federal and State waters in the Central Pacific Ocean and Western Pacific Ocean; and (3) the Secretary of State should continue to advocate for the coordinated management of sharks and the elimination of shark finning in all other waters.
