Shark finner Tsu Yu Jen Fined by Court

Check the latest Tico Times online. The sharkfin smuggler received no jail time but will have to pay $36,000 in fines plus the $64,000 he made in profit from the fins. I would have preferred to set a precident of 2 years in jail, but at least it's a baby step. I hope this money goes to the protection of the Cocos Island protected park which has the largest shark population in the world and is still being illegally fished.
