THE BANNING of sharks fin soup consumption in the country is not the only way to put an end to the shark fin trade, as public awareness and conservation efforts are equally important.

The Fisheries Department of Malaysia believes in the concept of empowering society by educating people and raising their awareness in their bid to conserve sharks in the country.
