Hunted for fins

Where people see dolphins, I see now fins. Fins, fins, fins...for a fin catalogue in my dreams. It's shape, scars, dots are like a finger print for dolphin ID. It changes with time, but some characteristics remain for life. Today we had common dolphins in almost every trip, so I added some more fins to my collection. Here you have some examples of what I am hunting for. And we also had lots of Cory shearwaters! For your information, "Hunted for fins" is the title from a report on shark finning. You can find it here. If you're not related to this sensitive matter and you want to know more, go also here. Now that I have your atention, check out what your country is doing to help sharks here. Because we love sharks too!
