Mauritius Banned Shark Fishing — But the 'Fin Trade' Framing Needs Nuance
Mauritius has prohibited shark fishing under the Fisheries and Marine Resources (Conservation of Sharks) Regulations 2021, with the broader Fisheries Act 2023 governing marine conservation. The claim that Mauritius specifically bans importing and selling 'shark fin products' is a partial misrepresentation: the actual law bans shark fishing entirely, which by extension covers finning and trade.
