I have attended a drawing competition organized by SHARK SAVERS MALAYSIA that promotes fin-free weddings to rise the awareness of stop killing sharks for their fins! 8D

here’s the concept of the picture (ahh my english is bad) “A wedding shouldn’t seize a shark’s chance of living. A newly married couple runs across a school of sharks, starts their own journey towards the future. We could have enjoyed our happiness after marriage, so do they. Let everyone lives their life happily ever after.”

Hey all, I’m super excited to announce that I finally started selling my space sharks by way of a Zodiac constellation themed series. Right now I only have four up, but it would be awesome if you could share this and check out my shop! Half of the profit made from all the products listed is going to Shark Savers and the other half is going to help me pay for things like rent and food.

Did you know that 1/3 of all shark species are threatened with extinction? Check out my @SharkSavers fundraising page to help!

Help me help them. They don't deserve to be killed the way they do.

Most of you know I've recently fallen head-over-heels in love with sharks and marine life in general. I've been keeping a close eye on conservation groups, trying to spread the word about certain events when I can. Something that immediately became clear when my shark obsession started was that Shark Finning, is a massive problem. You'll get the basics from the above video, but it's not pretty and the scale on which it's being done is both disgusting and totally unsustainable. Sharks breed pretty slowly, and if we don't act soon to put an end to operations like shark finning (Not to even mention game fishing and culling), we may be looking at the complete extinction of sharks in the next few decades. Without sharks as a link in the ocean's food chain, there will be terrible consequences. Predatory fish like Jacks will have an explosion in their populations, and this will cause the decimation of smaller fish populations. Basically, the ecosystem in the ocean is going to be a mess...it's not even clear to what extent, but it won't be pretty. 

Want to help? 

There are lots of ways you can help save sharks and put an end to shark finning and other detrimental fishing practices. You can donate to Extinction Soup's indiegogo campaign to help get their film to the general public and help spread awareness. You can also donate to conservation groups like:

Oceana

Shark Savers

Shark Allies

Shark Angels

and others

You can also help in your everyday life by spreading awareness about the plight of sharks and the effect their destruction is having on the ocean's ecosystem. You can also avoid restaurants that serve shark fin soup and search out petitions (or even start one!) to get the practice and food banned from your area. Lastly, you can put your money toward wild shark tourism. If you're in a coastal area (whether you live there or are on vacation), think about doing a shark dive (cage or free). By showing people they can make more money off of live wild sharks, the industries built on their deaths will begin to lose their grip.

Sharks are by no means the only animals facing issues like this. I encourage you to join conservation mailing lists to get information on how you can help with other animals in need.

Please help spread this around, awareness is an incredibly important first step in changing these types of practices.
