Dragon boating is an ancient Chinese water sport firmly rooted in myth and tradition. It started more than 2,000 years ago as a fertility rite in southern China that celebrated the coming solstice by awakening the slumbering Heavenly Dragon through the fury of their oars.

Shark Truth’s mission is to Stop the Soup one bowl at a time. Shark fin soup is popularly served at wedding banquets. This year, we launched the Happy Hearts Love Sharks wedding contest. Couples from around the world pledged to Stop the Soup at their wedding banquet. Through this year’s contest alone, our couples saved up to 360 sharks. The contest – funded by Save Our Seas Foundation and supported by our generous donors – had a total of 16 wedding banquets and 3600+ wedding banquet guests.
The winners with the most votes were announced on World Oceans Day.
Congratulations to our winning couples of the Happy Hearts Love Sharks wedding contest!

Happy Hearts Love Sharks Wedding Contest
Shark fin soup – most popularly served at wedding banquets – is causing the demise of shark populations around the world. A single wedding banquet serving shark fin soup to 300 guests kills up to 30 sharks. It is a delicacy in Chinese cuisine and is served at banquets as a symbol of status and respect. It is commonly served at wedding banquets to show ‘face’ or respect to one’s guests. With China’s rising middle-class and a thriving diaspora of Cantonese communities around the world, the demand for shark fin soup continues to soar.
To engage consumers in a discussion about shark fin soup, Shark Truth focuses on working with Chinese consumers– and not against them. With the support of the Save Our Seas Foundation, Shark Truth recently launched the Happy Hearts Love Sharks Wedding Contest.
