The Big Shark Shout Out Week!

From October 15 - 23 we're pulling out all the stops for sharks!

During the Big Shark Shout Out divers around the world will rally to protect sharks before it’s too late. Together, we have a powerful, collective voice that can change policies affecting the main threats to sharks - overfishing, bycatch and finning.

Why are we worried about sharks? Nearly one out of five shark species is threatened with extinction. Sharks are irreplaceable – they are vital to the health and balance of our ocean environments. Time is running out for sharks and we need to act now!

Make a difference during the Big Shark Shout Out:
1. Sign the Shark Petitions
2. Create a Local Shark Shout Out
3. Take the AWARE Shark Conservation Diver Distinctive Specialty
4. Show off your PicBadge "I Shouted For Sharks" on your facebook profile

NO SHOUT TOO LOUD FOR SHARKS!
