Master Divers Needs Your Help to Raise $3000 for Project Aware’s FIN-athon
If we raise $3000 USD, then on July 28th we will swim in a relay team around Koh Tao. We have already met 31% of our goal by raising $930! These funds will go to Project AWARE to help fight against shark finning by insisting on full protection of endangered sharks and negotiating stronger policies to protect them.
Swimming a relay around Koh Tao is no easy feat. Each of the 3 swimmers will swim just over 7.6km on the respective leg of their race, for a total of 23km. Each team member’s dedication to meeting this monetarily and physically trying goal, demonstrates how passionately they feel about this issue.
The team is made up of Ayesha (owner), Wilco (owner), and Gene (good friend and ocean lover).
At Master Divers we love the ocean and all its inhabitants and we are appalled at the plight of sharks. Shark finning is a serious issue threatening the entire Species and they are disappearing at an alarming rate from Koh Tao’s waters. We relish the opportunity to get involved and help ensure that sharks are around for the next generation of divers and marine life lovers.
Sharks die a horrific death when finned. They have their fins removed and are tossed back in the ocean to slowly suffocate. Without their fins they can’t swim and if they can’t swim, water does not flow through their gills allowing them to ‘breathe’. This practice kills 1000s A DAY!
Please help us to address this issue by providing your support in helping us spread the word about our campaign to help end shark finning.
