Authorities reported a huge shark massacre in Colombia's Pacific Ocean Malpelo wildlife sanctuary.
They estimate that 2,000 hammerhead and whale sharks were killed for fins.
"I received a report...from one of the divers who came from Russia to observe the large concentrations of sharks in Malpelo. They saw a large number of fishing trawlers entering the zone illegally,"said official Sandra Bessudo.
The divers counted 10 fishing boats...all flying the Costa Rican flag.
