Al Mahara Dive Team needs your support! Are you FINatical about sharks? Well we are as passionate divers here at Al Mahara. Time is against us as large populations of sharks are wiped out by the senseless shark finning practise for the Asian market's shark fin soup.

Shark fishing is largely unregulated around the world. Overfishing, bycatch and finning – the slicing of sharks fining and throwing away the body at sea - kills thousands of sharks every day. Project AWARE has recently helped close loopholes in the EU finning ban and secure international trade protections for 8 of the world’s most vulnerable sharks and rays. But, to ensure the survival of sharks, stricter, enforceable controls are needed for more species at national, regional and global levels. Project Aware team is there to lobby for the protection of sharks and as divers and sea lovers, we have a loud voice too and also we can take action.

Remember sharks are worth ten times more alive then dead! We support Project Aware's intiatives:

Fight to stop shark finning

Insist on full protections for critically endangered sharks

Negotiate stronger policies to ensure a brighter future for all sharks
