Shark Awareness Evening Success

I would like to thank everyone who came along to the Shark Awareness evening last Monday. I was amazed that we had such a good turnout for something that I had advertised as quite grim watching and slightly depressing. It certainly showed me that our divers are concerned about the environment and passionate about making a difference.


The documentary that we watched showed the grim reality of the shark finning trade and the impact that it will have if it continues in the future.

The discussion afterwards regarding what we can do to get involved was encouraging as some really achievable ideas were presented. Watch this space for future projects…

The evening was concluded with a brilliant presentation by Lucy from the Sea Life Centre at Alton Towers. She was tasked with lightening the mood and did so by showing some of the successful projects that Sea Life Centres are involved in, such as Turtle rescue, sea horse breeding and legislative changes.

It was a really encouraging night and I personally would like to thank everyone for giving up their time as well as the donations that were raised for Project AWARE.

Many Thanks, Katy
