10:47 pm
can you say that that on the one bullet, by the way, to get the escape? evelyn entertain collected more than a 180 cube. those from 9 different species including baby will show which is in danger. and better stop review. i thought, but it was administered about some the my bad up there monday. i know it's a stop. what are you? yeah, less that sound government studies. i saw you that on spot terms. part the process . i mean, 1st the space, you know, but at the will a form of the index. it don't source, but no, they is the same. we took them, but the sign your sample of what i mean that it most going to, you know, it looks should be, will a, you must have one double moscow, your windows, the system, the looses, they gave them for link. i mean definitely helps to convince the smuggler to cooperate with their investigation. issue choices the next might be in the supply
10:48 pm
chain. why is that important? what, what you still pointed them off in and you know, for the client, most of them at that point, the ways that if i'm being in speed, i don't know nearly 55 percent of the short bands that are ex, border from, for actually coming from neighboring ecuador, shark fishing has been banned here for almost 20 years, but there's a loophole that can be brought to shores, part of a bike catch, meaning that they were caught by accident networks, the smugglers then move the product across the porous border to prove it. well, you mean the product of fast import bustles can also look for them. at least a gives you a put in. but if i set it up as one, it will go out. you will be a, whenever you click the north stuff i found the control understanding has one is the security situation in ecuador is worse and deeply over the past few years.
10:49 pm
international drug cartels and boot in the homicide rate has skyrocketed in the last month. although under been 3 major political assassinations here and even more times than that, the violets is really shaken, ecuador, and dripping the sharks and trade even deeper underground. the under saturday morning weekend where access to the santa rosa market on the south west coast. when it's short been, smuggler's got us while we were here, it didn't seem like any one was inspecting the catch the window. isn't that the fish market in santa rosa? i don't see any government officials inspecting or observing one kind of look at buffy because the statement is going to allow for marcus. no, i use victoria how that we will. no,
10:50 pm
i 90 of the month just at least 9. not the seen the money today or that i business our team or caught a fisherman bringing the hammerhead sure. most of this beast is in danger. he jumped off the head and the body was destined for the pinning pile. indistinguishable from the other sharks. the presence of the market quickly became problematic. the person who arrange to visit was threatened and asked us to leave the book before we left. we made another important connection fishermen who had just been a week on the high seas. off the coast of ecuador shared some of their videos with our team. they show a hammer, head shirt, protected, spacings being hunted, and held. the shirts for ultimately killed the new crime is so far out it see that it is away from people's radar. a perception of sharks. this is scary.
10:51 pm
predators hasn't always lent them to be the most sympathetic animal, but people need to understand the importance that they play in maintaining out the marine ecosystems. we wanted to find out what happens to the students after they lead the market. so we met a smuggler who was willing to share some of the secrets of the trait, but only we create the conceal was identity. how many sharpens do you buy every week or month? pre owned, and what do you remember? how soon after you sell your sharks fence, what happens to them next? beautiful, beautiful, beautiful view um all through a remote in monta, a bigger postal city. in ecuador, there are large scale operations set up to drive the fence before they're smuggled out of the country to drug was on the water all the years on the water up here to look at this point,
10:52 pm
most experts had told us that almost all sharks dense from south america are shipped directly to asia. what our contact had one more to us for us. we'll take care of one folder for multiple on view apartments. we're going to be more. do you know if short, vince are sent directly to the united states? the number one team on the bottom of a few minutes to go through. i'm not sure, but i'm through a lot of your law. the 1st part of the month is the most warmer. the one that we've got the very reasonable offers the new york had long been one of the largest ports of entry for short fence in the united states in 2013 from one to years long campaign, but conservation groups, the state and the shirts. ben trade in 2022,
10:53 pm
it was banned nationwide. we wanted to follow up on the information we received in ecuador, so we hired and experienced while black trafficking investigator to work with us. we changed his voice to protect his identity. have you also been down in south america working on the shark fin issue? yes, i have been to the peru, ton of many countries in south america. it's highly illegal here. what are some of the challenges of trying to source this? if you walk into a fantasy chinese restaurant, the owner and a manager as they with united dealing he, they do so those who are in the restaurant. because they see a strange face or new face. they will not take the risk because they don't. this is a vehicle so it's impossible for me to walk in portable but sharpen so i think that you have almost 80 percent chance 0 percent. yeah. 0 percent. we dropped him
10:54 pm
off the shops and restaurants around the city. in just a few days, he made a break through a dinner reservation for, for that didn't otherwise nondescript chinese restaurant in brooklyn, or investigative reserved a table in a private room and arrange for 2 pounds of sharks to be served as part of an elegant meal. at $700.00, a person in the kitchen, the ship showed off the fence prepared to move them into sort of a you to the specialist. we looked at the hand written menu, sharpened soup was listed as the 2nd course. the tents have virtually no taste. so the ship sewed them inside the skin of a whole chicken and cooked it for hours. in the
10:55 pm
soup is considered a status symbol is often reserved for special occasions such as weddings or banquets. while the service were out of the room, we removed from the fence from our boat and preserve them in a plastic case. after the middle, the ship came in to meet our crew. he showed us a photo of the fins before it got them. he said they came not from prue or ecuador, but from goodness toilet we sent the soup to a laboratory to have the dean extracted and tested. the results, confirmed with a short pin in the suit, was locked in. the new york stopping the trade of it was instructions as the responsibility of the states department of environmental conservation. we shared the results of our investigation with them. they declined to speak with us on camera for answer any of our questions. the federal agency, the combat 12 trafficking official language services also did not answer our
10:56 pm
questions. there should not be sales sharpens anywhere in the us. hey, more. so it's surprising that there isn't, it's disappointing, but speaks to the challenges for really effectively implementing and enforcing this permissions on our last day. and through this, evelyn was rounding up defense moraine. we searched for more trying operations nearby. we're trying to be like conspicuous. but we're going to drive by so what we can see from the street, can you see anything? it was clear that if we were going to find more fence, it would have to be from above. which houses from that block over there. yeah. there we need to go is our street one of these streets. it didn't take long before we found a house. they had even more finished drawing in the sun. although there, covering every yes even more. we shared our image,
10:57 pm
we definitely feel center feel sense which will see the name was going through. we need to spend. what is it mosquito mrs. heath? almost. i you this is he the most? are you a little? that's one thing is clear. this isn't just an issue of wild life as an escalating environmental catastrophe. in order to save the species, the spin on our planet longer than trees, sharks will need help from the various basics, pushing the brink of extinction. for most of most models done useful inside of the solar main thing. i don't know. so local succulent way nobody see in the middle of the big say 9 will 30 minutes, you'll forego the toilet. meant to look and we'll do it. so this 3,
