Various species of sharks, some endangered or vulnerable, are hauled on shore at dawn by commercial fishers at Tanjung Luar in East Lombok, Indonesia. The port has one of the largest shark markets in Indonesia and south-east Asia. Sharks’ fins are exported from here, primarily to Hong Kong and China. Their bones are used in cosmetic products, also sold to China, and the meat and skins are consumed locally.
