Stan Shea is the marine programme director of Bloom Association Hong Kong and leads ADM Capital Foundation’s marine programme, including research on the shark fin trade, live reef food fish and dried seafood trades. A marine biologist, an avid diver and an educator, he strives to make conservation topics more accessible to people from all walks of life.

The addition of more shark species under CITES protection has closed an enforcement loophole, making it easier to protect the species most at risk. Hong Kong must allocate more resources for enforcement, improve its skill in species identification, and brace for an increase in the illegal trade.
