Shark Celebrity Auction

Posted on August 2, 2010 By David Shiffman 1 Comment on Shark Celebrity Auction
Conservation, Science

Throughout Shark Week, the Shark Research Institute is hosting a fundraiser. You can bid to meet various “Shark Celebrities”, and winners can join them for a meal, a face-to-face discussion, or in some cases a trip into the field to interact with sharks!

The shark celebrities being auctioned include scientists, filmmakers, authors and conservationists. Unless you are willing to travel to their location, bid on a local shark celebrity. The bidding is open throughout Shark Week. To learn more, please see the Shark Research Institute website.
