> I am pleased to share with you a major victory for global shark conservation here in California.  
>  
> Today, the California State Senate passed Assembly Bill 376 by a vote of 25-9.  The bill, which effectively prohibits the sale, trade, and possession of shark fins within the state,  closes one of the biggest markets for shark fins outside of Asia.  AB376 previously passed the State Assembly by a vote of 60-8, and Governor Brown is expected to sign the bill into law shortly.
>  
> WildAid has been at the forefront of this campaign alongside partners including the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Humane Society of the United States, and Oceana. I personally testified before the state legislature on three separate occasions, helping to lend voice to this important bill. Bo Derek, a wildlife advocate and WildAid board member, joined me on one such occasion and was persuasive and eloquent, and our Board Chair Tod Bensen has gone above-and-beyond to drum up support. The Hollywood community including Leonardo DiCaprio, Ed Norton, and Ben Stiller, worked closely with WildAid by lending their star power to our cause, as co-signers of a public letter to State Senators urging support of AB376, and by regularly encouraging public support on Facebook and Twitter.
>  
> More importantly though, your support has been instrumental to this campaign.  Your signatures, phone calls, e-mails, donations, and Tweets have been the driving force of this campaign and we could not have done it without you.
>  
> Thank you for supporting WildAid and I look forward to sharing more successes with you in the near future.
