Shark finning is the act of catching sharks only to cut their fins off and then releasing them back into the water while they're still alive. This is an unregulated fishing and often happens with long lines. It's killing one of the top ocean predators off. Most of the shark fins are being used for a soup that is often made in China. If you want to learn more I would highly recommend watching the Gordon Ramsay special on it.
