Shark Trust – Sharks in Focus Competition

moplogoJust announced, this year’s ‘Sharks in Focus’ Photo Competition, run by the Shark Trust and Diver Magazine.  See below from the Shark Trust site.  This organisation does a huge amount of work to support shark and ray conservation through research, management and education – join them today!

Due to the phenomenal success in 2007; the Sharks in Focus photography competition is back and will be officially launched on 1st July when you can submit your images on the Shark Trust website.

Love them or fear them there’s no disputing sharks are a “must see” for most divers. But as many of you will have experienced first-hand dive sites famed for their sharks now often disappoint. Sharks are disappearing, with many species in dramatic decline due to habitat destruction, poorly regulated fisheries and the shark fin trade. Now is your chance to contribute to shark conservation and support the vital work of the Shark Trust.

The Shark Trust believes that the profile of these mysterious and much maligned animals can be bolstered through the increased public awareness that still and moving images can provide.  So whatever your experience or age, this is your opportunity to join the hundreds of photographers who made Sharks in Focus 2007 such a phenomenal success. Be part of Sharks in Focus 2009 and help celebrate the majesty and diversity of sharks whilst bringing their vulnerability to a wider audience, not to mention putting yourself in the running to win big prizes and feature in the 2010 Diver Magazine calender.
