Sharks, Rays, Skates, and Tate

Sharks and rays are amazing. Present in our seas for 400 million years, they are vital and valuable but also vulnerable. 1/3 of all shark, skate, ray and chimaera species are threatened with extinction, largely due to the impact of unsustainable fisheries. The Shark Trust works tirelessly around the World to ensure sharks and rays are suitably protected.

That's why i'm helping the Shark Trust to safeguard their future with this fundraiser.
Together we can create positive change.
