Basically, this will allow someone who sees shark fins being served somewhere to report it via 311.
Really though, a ban reinforces the fact that restaurant owners need to evaluate their food practices better themselves. It puts peer pressure on them to stop, and send a message to the federal government that imports should be banned.
