This shark has been surfacing everywhere lately and even has its own twitter page! I was curious as to what it was so i decided to do some research. I have now discovered that this is a environmental movement that is trying to get the message out that sharks are endangered. There is a documentary that everyone should watch called Sharkwater, it exposes the illicit hunting of sharks for their fins off many primarily third world countries and as of 2004 the great white population has dropped 70%!!
You can learn more about this issue on on their webpage
This is such a serious issue and it really needs to be addressed as Sharks are often neglected in environmental fights and there is NO international governing body that is in charge of enforcing illegal fishing off coasts! What is up with that!!!
