comment on 14 February 2008
The catch of sharks in Ecuador has increased over the past year. While cheering the fishermen on higher revenue, the animal rights activists are concerned. They fear for the existence of many species off the coast of Ecuador. This dispute is concerned our comment of the week, the source of our employees has Eckhart Wolff.
For over a year, a dispute is through Ecuador. Subject of debate: the catch of sharks. It is primarily for the coveted shark fins end up in China soup kitchens. This soup is viewed as a delicacy. For this, in China paid any price. And because the market adjusts to demand, it does not matter whether the ingredient is from a legal or illegal business. Even this country's borders are no longer an obstacle.
has been made strong in Ecuador last hunt for sharks. Animal rights and environmental groups came up with statistics and showed terrible images from the beaches of Ecuador. Where the animals by cutting off the fins miserably perished on the beach. Then, the systematic capture of these animals was banned - followed by an angry outcry from fishermen. Last threatened Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa to run away some important constituency, the poor fishermen of the coast. Also on their votes, the President has supported nearly 1 ½ years. So it was decreed by presidential decree, that sharks will happen to the normal fishing in the network to be sold legally, and the meat and fins. A Solomonic decision, as it seems. But what's behind it?
The Agriculture Department is now handling the monitoring. Each catch a shark must specie, date, fishing area and name of the fisherman are reported. It must also be fished with steel nets. Many a great shark escape through this, because he often breaks into thin nylon nets. The damage in such circumstances to the fishermen. Nevertheless: This is the only way they can sell their catch prey even legal. 30, trained state inspectors check to fish the entire coast of Ecuador. The Ministry has published a map showing the 31 known species of shark off the coast of Ecuador. This is to ensure the classification.
But what is the real result?
The official numbers are sobering. 2006, a year without official registration, 90 tons of shark products were sold abroad. In 2007 there were 91,000 tonnes, more than 100 times. In fact, this figures are fined. For in the official statistics sent fresh meat and shark fins are calculated by weight together. Fresh meat takes much less in profit than a few shark fins. About 99% of the shark meat go to the U.S.. This market has hardly any growth trend. And even if the statistics for the years 2006 and 2007 are not directly comparable, because now want to legalize a lot more fishermen their catch, but it appears an impact: the fishermen diezunehmende specialization for sharks. This provides considerably more money than the traditional fishing, which is determined than tuna in the rule for the internal market.
Behind the official rules of this problem lies with the state so pure power politics. The environmentalists' hands are tied. They were expelled from the country or reduced their skills strong. A centrally-run state takes control and the so-called "solves a problem," according to political views. The bill initially pay for the sharks and the people later.
