Does this include the territorial waters or EEZ, or is it just illegal to possess shark fins on land?

I was wondering about that, but I couldn’t find it anywhere in the press coverage of this law. I’ll see if i can find the law itself and I’ll let you know.

I read the law itself, and it doesn’t say anything about territorial waters. I think this means that it’s just illegal to possess them on land. I’ve asked a friend who helped get this bill passed and I’ll let you know what she says.
