Shark Angels Auction Launches This Week

U.S. based non-profit Shark Angels is launching its Shark Week auction on Thursday (2nd July) via global charity auction site Charitybuzz, one of the world’s leading auction platforms. Items are up for bid until the 16th July, including unbelievable dive expeditions around the globe, shark artwork, shark jewelry, underwater cameras, sporting event tickets, and, of course, some great shark-themed items.

By bidding on these auction items you’ll fuel critical campaigns and play a vital role in protecting not just a threatened species, but also the world’s oceans. Shark Angels employs grassroots outreach, creative media, and education campaigns aimed at inspiring a global movement to save sharks and the ecosystems they keep healthy. And it’s working – for over five years, Shark Angels has been involved in some of the most well-known and highest impact ocean conservation programs around the world.

Shark Angels has chosen one of the most infamous weeks of the year, Shark Week to hold their auction. Last year 3.2 million people tuned in to Shark Week across the country. Threats against sharks such as finning and overfishing are causing shark populations to diminish at an unsustainable rate. Media heavily influences the minds of individuals around the world and has instilled in them a fear of sharks. Shark Angels dispels the myth that sharks are man eating monsters through education and advocacy campaigns. Shark Week was created to raise awareness and respect for sharks and that is what Shark Angels work to do everyday.

“We’ve been thrilled with the support from our partners and are very excited about this experiential auction,” says Shark Angels founder Julie Andersen. “Like the angels – and the animals they protect – it is truly unique.” Ms. Andersen hopes the auction will earn enough to fuel Shark Angels’ innovative education and advocacy programs to protect sharks, 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 is a tangible way to ensure your donations make a very real difference.”

You can help by checking out the items, bidding, and spreading the link far and wide. Sharks, healthy oceans, and a committed organization dedicated to their preservation are depending on it. “We’ve done a lot with a little. But now we need your help,” says Julie.
