Upcoming Events
May 11, 2012 • Fintastic Friday: Giving Sharks a Voice
On May 11, 2012, kids nationwide will join WhaleTimes, Inc and the Shark Research Institute to celebrate the second annual Fintastic Friday: Giving Sharks a Voice. Kids will raise their voices to help save unsung ocean heroes—sharks. Fintastic Friday is a collaborative effort of the two non-profit organizations to raise awareness of the worldwide plight of sharks and get students involved in an important conservation issue. Participation is free, easy, and at whatever level people choose, from doing a craft, learning about sharks, printing and posting a "Shark Conservation Zone" sign, or even having a Sharks in the Park" rally. Students can also gather signatures for the Shark Research Institute's "No Finning" efforts. The goal is to simply make some noise and raise awareness. Preserving sharks is one of today's most important ocean issues. Join the WhaleTimes and the Shark Research Institute for Fintastic Friday: Giving Sharks a Voice.
