Save the Shark

1  comments

It's hard to imagine a species that is so feared and yet is under so much threat of extinction. An old friend of mine Michael Skoletsky is a long-time diver. Over the last few years he has become increasingly concerned and passionate about the threat faced by sharks. To that end with five other fellow divers, he founded sharksavers.org. Their mission is to educate people about impact we are having on sharks and why it's so important to save them. In their own words.
We focus on education and awareness because most people still think sharks are out to kill them, or don't know that sharks are being fished towards extinction, or are unaware of the of disastrous impact that shark eradification has on the oceans and food supply, or don't know that mercury in shark fin soup is hazardous.
It's a worthwhile cause. Please check them out. It's a good site too!
