UPDATE: She’s Hooked!

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

London shoppers were, uh… lucky enough see Alice Newstead suspended from shark hooks for 15 minutes in the window of Lush Cosmetics on Regent Street, London today.

The stunt was part of the company’s campaign to end shark finning, and is supported by wildlife conservation charity Sea Shepherds.

The company is also asking consumers to boycott restaurants that serve shark fin soup and not to use shark cartilage supplements, which are thought to improve bone health.

Shark Art

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Over $80,000 worth of art has been donated to the cause of shark conservation by some of Australia’s greatest living artists.

The artists have joined forces for the sea and the Australian Marine Conservation Society’s (AMCS) annual charity art auction on Friday September 12th 2008. All proceeds from the auction will go towards the marine charity’s campaign to stop targeted shark fishing on the Great Barrier Reef.

Check out all the art at the AMCS Art for Sharks website.
