As part of the campaign launched today with WildAid, we developed an online component complete with four grass roots campaigns that include downloadable materials and an additional video that should magnify the impact of the campaign. Everything has been designed and written for the primary consumers of shark fin soup.

New York, NY, October 5, 2009-Shark Savers announced today it has launched an online ‘thank you' card to harness worldwide support for Palauan President Johnson Toribiong's September 25th declaration of a National Shark Sanctuary. The online card is available for the public to sign at the Shark Savers web site.
Palau's move to protect sharks is one of the most complete and unequivocal shark conservation actions in history. It is also rare good news for sharks because their populations worldwide are collapsing due to unrelenting fishing pressure, as indicated by reports released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Sharks are critical to the ocean ecosystem because, as apex predators, they help to keep other marine populations in balance.

We have received a few 'thank you's for our collective efforts opposing Palau's Senate Bill 8-44 which sought to re-open commercial shark fishing and loosen shark finning regulations in Palau waters. The new declaration of the National Shark Sanctuary is the response to that bill.
Many of you signed the peitition against this bill and so these 'thank you's belong to you. We, too, are sometimes skeptical of the effectiveness of a petition, but in this case our collective voice from around the world helped turn the tide in Palau. Many of the signers of the bill were not just shark enthusiasts, but Palau's customers: those who fly across the world to visit Palau's sharks. All of your impassioned comments made a sizable contribution to this historic declaration by President Toribiong.

Shark nets are gill nets installed by the KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board in South Africa to control shark populations in order to reduce the risk to the bathing population. There are better ways to protect bathers, and yet these nets indiscriminately kill hundreds of harmless sharks, turtles, dolphins, and fish each year. It's time to get the nets removed.
