7:37 am
boy assume no less cost has to be a know when did you become aware of start in trade? the the mean the safe comments almost have the seat that are most call with it instead of people. mercedes, a feel is part of a feeling that that's that the world and phones is about to feel to be a common. some of i know that in 2018 evelyn and their team arrested to trap caught with truckloads of drive bins leading to the 1st ever conviction in jail sentence and preferred for sharp in traffic. and the quick on that i to me i'll put a lot of my meant they will know about is oh my baby. no, no, final comment on the one you said us, i live, you know what? i don't want to pay another month i went through, i knew the business, the short vince improved was legal, but heavily restricted. most of them are sold in the black market. they can go for

7:40 am
because he's been doing everything is know have some sort of idea and they know what the for the home, but the that's still very tough to know. what are some of them did thing? i'm not that get us in the industry. sodium. dennis gets our lead. i will scott at good. yes. let me though. this is at least the record of that gave me in the us is to a said little me in the, in a lot, but a saw not gabriel. he said to be ice. and this is the handle. the proofing coastline stretches for more than 3000 kilometers the waters here have to push for sharks for thousands of years. right. no, no. gotcha. and for the. ready best best said that the one on it. no, i put it in my final lumen and instead of telling me, let me, i my nickel. ready ready the popularity of consuming shark fin. soup considers a delicacy and countries like china and thailand has cost
7:41 am
a number of sharks and world wide deployment. as many as $100000000.00 sharks are harvested each year for their fence. the pump and we're gonna suspend. well, let's put this stuff. okay, not mind meant that and i'm going to meet the, what is the order? if the, if i, i think i meant that to say no, i don't approve you fit in the middle of the cost of it contains the entire marine eco system, the back of the composer, him this passes cycle more like one assignment, the fellow settlement known and can reach critics to help the wellbeing of the planets oceans were sharp shipment over fished, some countries advance the short entry would not permit which is encouraged just one of the leading exporters of sharks and worldwide we went out to see what's improving and fishermen who has been throw home lights pushing these waters to about 10 p. m. now the last hour they've been bringing. and then
7:42 am
after the 1st time tonight and then that goes much further than you were thinking. they really did take a full hour to bring it all in. but in their 1st catch, that got a hammer, had sharp for the presidency. what always the outcome? the other was done, they don't for most people, the less come use the monthly cost. they say the most recent email i sent in was the name of the temple and all that kind of stuff on a lot of people are on this, you know, almost laparoscopic even so shark fishing is francisco slightly higher and he feels that artisan will fishermen like him are not the main problem. when the press ok, you level this is the actual not unless you're not the not the most nice today, most ink on you that think i'm going to spark plugs, but on this see 4 people get stuck on the, on the last the, this is one of the of our ships,
7:43 am
he's talking about hundreds of chinese fishing vessels operate off the coast of south america, including for they are responsible for the majority of sharks, harvested from these waters. in the last 50 years, the population of sharks has declined a more than 70 percent. we watched as the fishermen brought their sharks into this port in northern port. they plan to sell them, but they weren't very clear about what would happen with the fence. is there a black market or a gray market on the the print them all the big ones, the ones that have been the so far, no one is willing to tell us what's going to happen to the fence and these hammerhead sharks that they caught. it's a protected species, and i think the cameras making them nervous. so we're gonna have to keep looking to figure out where they're cut off, dried and moved the
7:44 am
issue marketing, cham voting. we found shorts for sale, but it was the trunk sold as a cheap coating substitute. the most valuable part of the shop. the pins had already been removed. but they may not be that far away. across the street from the fish market. evelyn and her team have identified a been trying operation. i thought the convenience store in the custodians resource being will be kind of the distance economy for the people. it's a kind of a thought that the modem is. i'd probably say 11 different thing. photographic evidence of dense on the roof. meaning that, let's say the latest you said with the pin for the, for what i mean, it's a little stone course. it will say i'm on the most that the modem. mean, i let the select the select the select the i live this info. so, but you don't says most, most of them in a flow, you, i mean, casa, a lot of it,
7:45 am
the say that it'd be guessing, but the said god most and also your we just received word that the judge is a, for the re tablets barney headed over there were rushing there to meet her. now the one the thing was i was gonna do is the name on the police here, but i am not a civilian that easily either sort of piece. does he need them already? because that'd be so yeah. is that effective that are the water that it's aria that the app or the with a b will resario the
7:46 am
the telephone and go down to gables? got like given when people that opened in the field, most of them get them to get inside this member's office, the investigators found bags and bags of dried chart tense, muscle lead path. i've got a muscle at the s s will have to get this out and my lance, i know you must be on this at the last 4 or 5 on
7:47 am
the 5th at that on the one bullet. by the way, to get the escape. evelyn entertain collected more than a $180.00 killers from 9 different species, including baby will sharp, which is endangered, and better stop review. but it also means celebrates under your my bed up there, monday. i know it's a stop. what are you? yeah, let's do that. so i'm going to send these assignment that on spot terms bought the process. i mean 1st the space, you know, but at the will a full month at the what the government exceed, the source winode is the same. we took the input this on your sample of what i mean in most on. so, you know, it looks should be, well a, you must have one double moscow, your windows, the system knows that looses they gave them for one coming eval if hopes to convince the smuggler to cooperate with their investigation. issue choices the next week in the supply chain. why is it important for what she's doing for the
7:48 am
component that ma in and you know, for the 3rd one, the client most of them at that point 0 is that if i'm being in speed, i don't know nearly 75 percent of the short vents. that are exported 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 shore as part of a bi catch. meaning that they were caught by accident networks, the smugglers then move the product across the porous border to prove it. lead me into an appraisal of fast import bustles can also look for them. at least a gives you a pleasant is that if i set it up as when they go i, you'll be a win win. that basically the north stuff i found the that going through the understanding of what is the security situation in ecuador is worse and deeply over
7:49 am
the past few years. international drug cartels have moved 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, as really shaken ecuador and trip in the sharks and trade even deeper underground the on a saturday morning weekend where access to the santa rosa market on the south west coast. one of the short been smugglers got us while we were here, it didn't seem like anyone was inspecting the catch the windows and that the fish market in santa rosa. i don't see any government officials inspecting or observing one time and look at buffy because the statement is going to allow for murphy's no, i use victoria how that we will noisy 90 at the month just at least to go 9. not
7:50 am
the seen the money today or the busiest the arts humor caught a fisherman bringing the hammer head. sure. most of this beast is in danger. he jumped off the head and the body was destined for the pending pile. indistinguishable from the other sharks. for presence of the market quickly became problematic. the person who arranged the visit was threatened and asked us to leave the book before we left. we made another important connection. fisherman, who had just been a week on the high sea salt the coast of ecuador, shared some of their videos with our team. they show a hammer, head shirt, protected spacing is being hunted, and how the sharks are ultimately killed. and the crime is so far out and see that it is away from people's radar. a perception of shirts. this is scary
7:51 am
. predators hasn't always lent them to be the most sympathetic animal. but people need to understand the importance that they play in maintaining housing or in eco systems. 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 traits, but only we create the consumers identity. how many sharpens did you buy every week or month, pre owned and what do you remember how soon after you sell your sharks? trends what happens to them next year? we will do almost 2 months and months of a bigger postal city in ecuador, their large scale operations set up to drive defense before their smuggled out of the country, because on the water was what the water up here to at this point,
7:52 am
most experts had told us that almost all sharks and it's from south america, shipped directly to asia. what our contact had one more to us for us. we'll do one for me for folder for multiple on view apartments. do you know if short fence are sent directly to the united states? the number one people know about mentioned they both are well, i'm not sure but them through law the of all. the 1st part of one more month is the one with the one that we've got the very reasonable both for the new york had long been one of the largest ports of entry for short fence in the united states in 2013 following good years long campaign but conservation groups, the state pan destruct ventured in 2022. it was banned nationwide. we wanted
7:53 am
to follow up on the information we received in ecuador, so we hired an experienced wall like 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 peru, ton of many countries in south america. it's highly illegal here. what are some of the challenges of trying to source this? you're welcome to a fantasy chinese restaurant, the owner and the managers. they with united different you. they do so those who in the restaurant because they see a strange face for a new face. they will not take the risk because they know this is a vehicle. so it's impossible for me to walk in border. abolla sharp ensued. i think that you have almost 80 percent chance 0 percent. yeah. 0 percent. we dropped them off the shops and restaurants around the city in just
7:54 am
a few days. you made a break through a dinner reservation for, for that and otherwise non descript chinese restaurant in brooklyn are investigated . reserved a table in a private room and arrange for 2 pounds of sharks and to be served as part of an elegant meal. at $700.00, a person in the kitchen, the ship showed off the fence and prepared to move them into sort of a new to the specialist. we looked at the hand written menu, sharpened soup was listed as the 2nd course. the 10s have virtually no taste. so the ship sewed them inside the skin of a whole chicken and cooked it for hours. in the
7:55 am
soup is considered a status symbol is often reserved for special occasions such as weddings are banquets, while the service were out of the room, we removed from the fence from our bowl and preserved them in a plastic case, after the middle of the shaft came in to meet our group, he showed us a photo of the fins before he got them. he said they came not from poor ecuador, but from consuela. we sent the soup to a laboratory to have the dx tractor and tested the results confirmed with the sharp vin in the soup was often in new york, stopping to trade. it was at short friends 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, or answer any of our questions. the federal agency to combat 12 trafficking
7:56 am
official language services also did not answer our questions. there should not be sales sharpens anywhere in the us anymore. 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 improve. as evelyn was rounding up defense from our rate, we searched for more trying operations in nearby. we're trying to be spick us, 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 sense, 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 the streets? it did take long before we found a house. they had even more fins drawing in the sun. oh there, there, covering every year receivable,
7:57 am
which we shared our image with definitely feel center, feel sense, which we'll see. you. then you must consider. we need a thing. what is it my seo, mrs. he thomas, are you? this is ethan most are you able to? that's one thing is clear. this isn't just an issue, blah blah. it's 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, most done us pull inside of the solar main thing. i don't know. so local cycling way. nobody see in the middle of the thing. say that and what that elements you own fort gordon told me that look, and we'll do it. so these 3, it implemented that the hours

7:59 am
the tell it says it was. and he's the people who allow us into their lives, dignity ends. you mind if you ask them to tell this story. and this is the 1st one they saw that we see the 3 of the victims themselves. there's a disconnect between what we are witnessing on social media versus what we're seeing on mainstream. it is always an attempt to frame a true side of them, but there is no 2 sides to this. the western media does have a western bias who understand what they are looking to see out and raise. the listening post covers how the news is covered. hearing the fact chart, populations is declined 70 percent, and we're still not doing anything about it. understanding the reality plays that exploded reporting from the ex whatever happens next
