357 dead sharks found on boat inside Galapagos park
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43856767/ns/world_news-world_environment/

Some 30 fishermen caught with 357 dead sharks aboard their rundown vessel inside Galapagos National Park now face criminal charges, park officials said.

Shark fishing, as well as any commercial-scale fishing, is illegal inside the park and its marine reserve.

Illegal shark fishing in Ecuador helps feed a demand for shark fin soup in Asia. The practice has put pressure on many shark species, some of which have become endangered or threatened with extinction.
