佛羅里達州已成為美國禁止魚翅貿易的第15個州！佛羅里達州是魚翅貿易的中心。佛羅里達州州長 DeSantis 簽署了魚翅貿易禁令，即《克里斯汀·雅各布斯海洋保護法》（SB680），成為法律。該法案禁止跨州運輸魚鰭，以及通過佛羅里達州進口或運輸國際魚鰭，但允許當地漁民繼續捕魚。

佛羅里達州魚類和野生動物保護委員會（FWC）將研究該禁令對當地社區的經濟影響，保護組織對此表示樂觀- 2017年，只有22名佛羅里達州漁民從事魚翅業務，每年僅帶來36萬美元的收入。相比之下，鯊魚潛水在佛羅里達州僱用了10,000名員工，在佛羅里達州帶來了3.14億美元的收入（PADI 2019）。

Florida has become the USA’s 15th state to ban the shark fin trade! Florida is an epicenter of the shark fin trade. Florida Governor DeSantis signed the shark fin trade ban—the Kristin Jacobs Ocean Conservation Act (SB680)—into law. The bill bans shipping fins across state borders as well as the import or shipping of international fins through Florida, but allows local fishermen to continue fishing.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will studies the economic impact of the ban on local communities, conservation groups are optimistic—in 2017 only 22 Florida fishers were in the shark fin business, bringing in only $360,000 per year. In contrast, shark diving employs 10,000 in Florida and brings in $314 million in Florida (PADI 2019).
