In this Shark fin awareness project, we tried to make the school aware of what is happening to the sharks in the world. We used a lunch time to have a short shark fin festival. We held games, activates and bake sales. I think this project did work, and that we did make a difference because people were walking out of the room saying, "I'll never eat shark fin soup again!" Also the people that came to the festival saw the videos of what happens to the sharks, and some of them were pretty disturbing. If I ate shark fin soup on a regular basis and then watched those videos I would
not be having it again.
If I were doing this project again I would try to promote the videos more so people would become more aware, because not a lot of people were actually watching them because of the games and other activities. I think I learned a lot about shark fining and the horrors people are doing to them. I learned all about long line fishing and how people need it for a good income. I also learned about how you need to have a good plan for an action project, so it isn't messy or confusing. Overall, I think that this Shark fin project was a big success.
