A Strong Year of the Shark

Talk about starting the year off with a bang. We saw the exciting close to our first contest, with entries coming from all over the world. We also received great press coverage in Time Out - Hong Kong, the very magazine we approached regarding their consistent promotion of shark fin (which they agreed to end).

Moreover, we've now circulated nearly 900 of our postcards, those that petition the government for an end to the shark trade. 

So a big thank you to our 1300+ supporters, hailing from Hong Kong, the US, Singapore, the UK, Canada, Thailand, Australia, Italy, Sweden, Germany, France, Denmark, Turkey, Austria, Spain, Malaysia, Belgium, Costa Rica, Israel and Indonesia!


Congratulations to our contest winners!


Just a few days ago, we held our first lucky draw. Our two winners each received tickets for the dive and sail trip of a lifetime aboard the SMY Ondina. All they did to register was pick up our 3 Card Pack, and now they have a prize worth about US$5000! Congratulations to Brad Easton and Michelle Senkiw - bon voyage!
 


More people helping Palau!

Education without action is knowledge without teeth, which is why our Winter Campaign is about helping Palau. In June 2010, we're going to make some noise and help Palau protect the world's first shark sanctuary!

Thank You, Palau!

Each time you get one of our products or advertise with us, a spot on our Thank-You Card gets revealed. You can also contribute directly. View our card to find out who is helping us and how you can too!



 

News Bite

Sharks Put At Risk
The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) is deeply disappointed about the Australian Government's decision to back down on protecting some of our most vulnerable shark species. Minister Garrett, MP was due to list three migratory shark species under federal environment legislation, but has today backed down due to pressure from the recreational and charter shark fishing sectors.



BIG Thanks! 

A big thank you all the people who joined us on our winter campaign, and a big thank you to Eco-Sys Action for getting a commercial spot our Thank-you Card! Give them a visit!
