Most Indonesian Fishing baots caught fishing in Australian waters seem full of shark fins.
So Australia burns their boats.

Is this a good idea?

Perhaps getting "shark fin soup' off Chinese menus and giving the Indonesian fishermen an alternative survival strategy might be a better idea?

Yes, I think it is a good idea to burn their boats. Try getting shark fin off Chinese menues is going to be as difficult as getting dogs/cats market closed, stopping China from feeding live animals to zoo animals, beating dogs to death for their fur, etc.
