Dateline 2nd July 2012.
A company called North Atlantic Agadir SL has applied for a PAT permit (Projects De Actuation Territorial) to open a shark fin drying operation in Tenerife. There is nothing illegal about this and the permit will probably be granted. The Society has added it's name to a letter of objection being prepared by the Global Shark Conservation Initiative and urges 'Registered Supporters' to contact the Global Shark Conservation Initiative and find out how they can object as individuals.
