We have been watching Sharkwater in class this past week and I told you that I would post some links and further information and reading: so here it is! -Probably more than you need or want but the post is always here if you ever want to refer back to it for information sources. And who knows, maybe one of you will go on to work in Shark Protection, research or management!
Saving Sharks is dedicated to shark conservation: their site provides some really useful ideas about things you can do to help save sharks.
The Centre for Ocean Awareness, Research and Education (COARE) is based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Its' purpose is to study our oceans and increase public awareness of the earth's marine environment through educational programs and outreach. They have a shark education and awareness program.
IEMANYA OCEANICA is a non-profit organization, dedicated to the conservation of sharks, rays and their habitats. IEMANYA is an international organization of scientists, educators and environmentalists committed to protecting marine life, especially sharks and rays, while addressing the socio-economic repercussions of conservation within the communities that depend on marine resources.I.E.M.A.N.Y.A stands for Research, Education, Management, and Advisory. They are also named after Yemanjá, the celebrated Afro-Brazilian Goddess and guardian of the sea, and mother of all life.
Bite Back: Formed in 2002, Bite-Back continues to be the UK's only organisation dedicated to the protection of sharks by reducing consumer demand for its meat and fins.
Pretoma is based in Costa Rica: you might find it interesting to learn about what they are doing there, given the significance of Costa Rica in the film.
The Shark Trust: is a UK charity dedicated to promoting the study, management and conservation of sharks, skates and rays.
The Shark Research Institute: is a multi-disciplinary non-profit scientific research organization, created to sponsor and conduct research on sharks and promote the conservation of sharks. Founded in 1991 at Princeton, New Jersey, USA, SRI has field offices in Canada, the Galapagos Islands, Honduras, Mexico, South Africa, Taiwan and the Seychelles. A new data collecting site has been established in Australia.
The Shark Alliance is a not-for-profit coalition of non-governmental organizations dedicated to restoring and conserving shark populations by improving European fishing policy. Because of the influence of Europe in global fisheries and the importance of sharks in ocean ecosystems, these efforts have the potential to enhance the health of the marine environment in Europe and around the world. Take a look at their "take action" site: there might be some inspiration for the "show what you know" assignment here. You'll learn that Oct.11-19 is European Shark Week!
Shark Savers was founded in 2007 by a group of divers who care deeply about the environment and the oceans and sharks in particular. We think the need to increase awareness of sharks and the danger they are in is critical.
And finally, CNN's Planet in Peril Series did a segment on Shark Finning. Take a look at it!
P.S. Just because it's a really great site: take a look at obviously.ca. Why? Obviously...
