The Shark Trust has announced that donations to its Big Give Green Match Fund will be doubled until 29 April. The Trust is hoping to rais £10,000 which will be doubled to £20k.
Funds raised will go to the Shark Trust’s Community engagement Programme, through which the trust works globally to tackle the threats faced by sharks skates and rays.
Shark Trust Patron, Monty Halls, said ‘Cousteau called sharks the “splendid savage of the sea”, and even through the more benign lens of modern shark interactions it remains a good description.
‘The reefs I dived thirty years ago teemed with sharks, the perfect result of 450 million years of evolution. Today those same reefs are silent, the blue water empty of those elegant shadows.
‘But hope remains that if one generation has created such devastation, so the next can reverse the damage that has been done. The Shark Trust are at the forefront of that fight.’
Get ‘finvolved’ on the Big Give platform – all donations will be doubled until midnight, 29 April.
