<p>While we monitor landings of shark species into UK ports and abroad by UK vessels,
as well as UK trade flows of shark commodities, we do not hold data on the volume
of shark meat entering the commercial food chain.</p><p>The UK Government continues
to be a leading voice for sustainable fisheries, trade and protection of shark species.
The UK places the utmost importance on ensuring that appropriate protection and management
is in place for all shark species. While we are not opposed to the capture of sharks
in commercial fisheries, we want to ensure those fisheries are sustainable, trade
is managed, and that appropriate management measures are in place.</p>
