A bowl of shark fin soup is being served at a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown, Monday, Feb. 14, 2011. Less than one week after Chinese New Year, California legislators have introduced a bill to ban the possession, sale and distribution of shark fins used in a traditional soup. If successful, the proposed ban announced Monday would follow a similar measure enacted in Hawaii last year. Oregon and Washington are also considering similar legislation. Shark fins are used to create a luxury Chinese soup that can sell for as much as $40 a bowl. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)
