Our ocean's sharks have a new champion and his name is Bali B. He happens to be a hero in the Lego universe and here, at Project AWARE, we're big fans of his anti-finning moves.

We recently discovered this Youtube video in support of our Sharks in Peril campaign. According to the animators who created Bali B’s adventure, it was made to "involve kids and bring a different light to the anti-finning campaign."

We like this approach and we particularly like the stop-motion animation with Lego. It's action and creativity like this that adds power to Project AWARE’s shark petition. Your name is counted in the battle to give sharks a fighting chance when you sign our petition.

Why do we worry about shark populations? Our planet's ocean depends on predators like sharks to keep underwater ecosystems in balance. And overfishing of sharks and shark finning, in particular, drive shark declines. Project AWARE aims to put an end to shark finning as an acceptable fishing method worldwide. There's a lot of work to be done. Here's to Bali B and all his shark protection work!
