Marine waters of North Sulawesi, a province in Indonesia, rich in potential fishery. Most residents are fishermen. Marine waters North Sulawesi were too often a place where illegal fishing.

I often visit different areas of the province. Most of the district is an archipelago. There are various types of fishing activity. Including, shark fishing.

Shark caught freely without any prohibition. Fishermen caught with simple equipment. They are only using a small boat. Shark fin, which is worth considering that, exposed to smoking at the curb.

The collector then bought it for Rp. 250,000 to Rp 1 million. The collectors then resell at a price more than tripled.

When going to the island Batuwingkung in Sangihe, I found a fisherman who had just finished caught 2 sharks. He then took the fins and cut up the meat. The fins are sold to collectors, while shark meat is sold to the local inhabitants.

Some time ago I also photographed as hundreds of shark fins were dried on the roadside. Similarly, when the meat is sold in traditional markets.
