Profepa and Navy inspectors in Ensenada seize a historic shark fins cargo of 2,433 kg bound for Shanghai after failing CITES checks.
Inspectors from Mexico’s Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Profepa), working with the Mexican Navy (SEMAR), intercepted and secured a container holding 2,433 kilograms of dehydrated shark fins at the Port of Ensenada. The shipment was destined for Shanghai, China, marking what Profepa described as a “historic seizure” in the trade of these parts.
The operation began when naval personnel flagged the suspicious consignment on June 5 . . .
