The world's largest shark fin industry lies in the heart of the Coral Triangle,a region of the Indian and Pacific Oceans domestic to the world's most diverse coral reefs and known as the Amazon of the seas. This idyllic-sounding environment sustains an industry responsible for the deaths of over 3 million sharks a year. With a reported annual catch of 100000 tons, Indonesia's shark fishery contributes more to the international shark fin trade than any other nation.
