Is sea world doing a lot to help stop shark finning?

Yes! It’s one of the main objectives of their partnership with the Guy Harvey Foundation. They were also one of the main supporters of the Shark Fin Trade Elimination Act.

On the park side of things, their shark encounter attraction and shark-themed roller coaster Mako contain educational materials in the queues informing the public about the barbaric practice of shark finning.

Foundations of Painting Final Project︱9 December 2019

Artist’s Statement

Power Couple, 2019. 24 x 30 in. Acrylic on canvas.

Power Couple is a visual exploration of the beauty of the marine world. As a marine biologist, my goal was to create a composition highlighting the majesty and fragility of the world’s oceans, as well as the creatures that live within it. I have always been very interested in marine wildlife artistry. I feel that it has the ability to promote ocean conservation and scientific literacy to the general public in a more relatable manner than news articles or reports. This particular piece was inspired by the work of Guy Harvey, a marine biologist renowned for his paintings of marine animals, particularly large game fish. He sells his work to raise awareness for ocean conservation efforts. Like Mr. Harvey, I wanted my painting to represent the fusion of art and science. I titled this piece Power Couple to pay homage to the mated pair of marlins described in Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea. In the novel, a female marlin was caught by the old fisherman, and her mate stayed with her until she died. This is what I imagine the couple’s life was like before the events of the novel took place.

~ C. C. Moon

He remembered the time he had hooked one of a pair of marlin. The male fish always let the female fish feed first and the hooked fish, the female, made a wild, panic-stricken, despairing fight that soon exhausted her, and all the time the male had stayed with her...That was the saddest thing I ever saw with them, the old man thought. The boy was sad too and we begged her pardon and butchered her promptly.
