Divers have a special appreciation for sharks that the average person (probably) doesn’t understand. Together, we can raise awareness about the dangers facing these amazing creatures and take action to protect them.
Pasted below are some items you could include in your enewsletter or post to your Facebook wall. Encourage readers to forward the information to their family, co-workers, etc. Sharks will benefit from winning a few more friends, and your business information will be shared across the interwebs.
