Who is really saving the sharks?

It seems like there is a new group, or organization, that wants to save sharks, popping up daily. With all these people supposedly having the same goal, why do they all feel that they need to start a new group? Why not join an already established organization?

Just do a search for "shark" on facebook and you get a seemingly endless list of groups that want to save sharks, but most of them do nothing, other than commiserate with each other.Great White shark, cage diving, swimming with sharks
As a company that deeply cares about our oceans and the sharks that live in it, we like to support and work with the organizations we feel are doing a great job, not just talking about conservation, but really doing something about it.

We are proud to say that our Fiji partner, Bequa Adventure Divers, has the same philosophy. They helped establish the Fiji "Shark Reef Marine Reserve" and I love the way they describe themselves as a "conservation project, masquerading as a dive operation". You can read about their philosophy and actions here. Their approach to partner with the local fishermen is awesome and their success proves, that conservationists and fishermen can work together.Great White shark, cage diving, swimming with sharks at Isla Guadalupe are specialties of Shark Diver
Beqa Adventure Divers has also partnered with Projects Abroad a great organization, working, not only to protect sharks, but helping in a lot of different areas. Mike has written an excellent blog about them here.

We are going to Fiji this May, to dive with Bull Sharks and to check out the possibility of organizing a volunteer trip for next year. If you would like to join us on our Fiji adventure, dive with up to 70 Bull Sharks swimming around you and check out what Mike and his crew are up to, call us at 855.987.4275 or 619.887.4275 staff@sharkdiver.comGreat White shark, cage diving, swimming with sharks at Isla Guadalupe are specialties of Shark Dive
