Enhancing fish traders' awareness of shark conservation laws to support ecosystem sustainability

This research aims to enhance the understanding of shark fish traders in maintaining ecosystem sustainability at Wameo Market, Baubau City. The market area sells various types of fish, one of which is sharks. However, sharks are prohibited from being traded. Despite this, sales continue to take place. The price per shark is Rp 20,000, even though sharks are endangered, which threatens the sustainability of the ecosystem. It is crucial for fish traders to understand this issue, and for the Baubau City government to take preventive measures or, if necessary, enforcement actions against traders who continue to sell sharks.
