Shark Angels, a U.S. based non-profit, is thrilled to launch their Shark Week auction
on August 7th via global charity auction site.  For Charitybuzz, ([charitybuzz.com/sharkangels](https://www.charitybuzz.com/support/1865))
one of the world’s leading auction platforms. Items are up for bid until August 
20th.  That’s including unbelievable dive [expeditions](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/05/shark-saver-goes-baywatch-beautiful-help-her-fight-for-sharks/)
around the globe, shark artwork, sporting event tickets, and, of course, some of
our favorite shark themed items.

## A Week of Shark Angels

By bidding on these amazing auction items, you’ll fuel critical campaigns like our
FinFree and Shark Cherubs programs that play a vital role in protecting not just
a threatened species, but also our world’s oceans. In addition, [Shark Angels](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/06/the-impact-of-a-burlesque-shark-angels-conservation-event/)
employs grassroots outreach, creative media, and education campaigns.  For they 
are aimed at inspiring a global movement to save sharks.  So the ecosystems they
keep healthy and it’s working! For over five years, Shark Angels has been involved
in some of the most well-known and highest impact ocean conservation programs around
the world.

I always love that they chose one of the most infamous weeks of the year to hold
their auction. Last year 3.2 million people tuned in to Shark Week across the country.
Sharks are so important they deserve a week focused on them! Threats against sharks,
such as, finning and [overfishing](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/03/marine-ecosystem-suffers-huge-blow-after-45-baby-sharks-found-dead-gulfnews-com/)
are causing shark populations to diminish at an unsustainable rate. Media heavily
influences the minds of individuals around the world and has instilled in them a
fear of sharks. Yet Shark Angels dispels the myth that sharks are man eating monsters
through education and advocacy campaigns.  That’s because Shark Week was created
to raise awareness and respect for sharks.  That’s especially what they work to 
do everyday.

#### Shark Week Angels

“We’ve been thrilled with the support from our partners and are very excited about
this experiential auction,” says executive director, Julie Andersen. “Like the angels–
and the animals they protect – it is truly unique.” Ms. Andersen hopes the auction
will earn enough to fuel Shark Angels’ innovative education and advocacy programs
to protect sharks, the ocean’s apex species. “The health of the world’s oceans depends
on healthy shark populations, and every creature on earth depends on healthy oceans
for survival. This is a tangible way to ensure your donations make a very real difference.”

You can help by checking out the items, bidding, spreading the link far and wide.
Sharks, healthy oceans, and a committed organization dedicated to their preservation
are depending on it. “We’ve done a lot with a little. But now we need your help.”–
Julie Andersen
