Save Shark.

     Khao Lak Scuba Adventures would like to help save sharks by telling everyone to watch Sharkwater and spread the word.

Ways you can help save sharks:

Thank you for your passion and support! You can help save sharks by telling everyone you know to watch Sharkwater and spread the word. We need to give sharks a new image and make ocean conservation a part of our daily lives. Click here for more about saving sharks and to send this to a friend.

Ways to get involved:

1. Watch and tell your friends to see Sharkwater. Find out more at www.sharkwater.com.
2. Tell teachers and students to watch Sharkwater, then download the study guides at www.sharkwater.com for info and photos about shark conservation.
3. Don’t eat shark fin soup—refuse to eat at restaurants that serve it; encourage others to do the same.
4. Dive and snorkel with sharks. The more money that goes into shark tourism the more people will realize the value of keeping sharks alive.
5. Find out if your country is one of the 17 countries that have banned shark finning. If not, write your local government official asking them to ban shark finning.
6. Demand that your country stop the sale/importation of shark fins.
7. Start a letter writing campaign to the Secretary General of the UN requesting international bans on shark finning and the importation of fins. 
8. Visit www.seashepherd.org and similar organizations such as www.oceana.org and www.wildaid.com, to take action to save sharks.
9. You can donate to help save sharks at www.sharkwater.com.

Thank you!
