Shark Angels, a U.S. based non-profit, is thrilled to launch their annual World Oceans Day Auction on June 3th via the global charity auction site, Charity Auctions Today. Featuring some unbelievable dive expeditions around the globe, items are up for bid until June 17th and can be viewed here: auction.sharkangels.org
“This year’s auction is bigger & better than ever,” says Executive Director, Jamie Pollack. “We’re thrilled with the support we’ve received from many of our regular donors and excited about our partnerships with new donors. What that means for bidders is that we have more trips this year than we’ve ever had to some amazing destinations. Bidders can score a great deal on a trip while helping to fuel Shark Angels’ innovative education and advocacy programs to protect sharks, one of the ocean’s apex species. The health of the world’s oceans depends on healthy shark populations, and every creature on earth depends on healthy oceans for survival.”
This year’s United Nations World Oceans Day, on June 8, 2023 will highlight the theme “Planet Ocean: tides are changing”. With 90% of big fish populations depleted, 33% of shark species at risk of extinction, and 50% of coral reefs destroyed, it’s crucial that we work together to protect our vital ocean resources.
We chose this time for our auction because protecting sharks also means protecting our beautiful Planet Ocean. By bidding on these items and helping to spread the auction link, you can play a part in preserving this essential ecosystem.
Shark Angels is a non-profit shark conservation organization that advocates for sharks and our beautiful blue planet by turning fear of sharks into fascination, and empowering the public through science, education, diving, legislation, and outreach.
