The Trawangan Dive Finathon sparked an explosion of energy, fun and festivity in the name of sharks.
The Gili Islands off the coast of Lombok Indonesia, enjoyed a festival atmosphere as divers, locals and children joined together to protect sharks and raise funds for local projects. Trawangan Dive organised an island-wide triathlon challenge together with the Gili Eco Trust.

New study focuses on conservation as revenue generator.

Would you shave your head for shark protection? That's just what Divemaster, Heather Murray is planning to do as part of the global Finathon™ - Get Swimming to End Shark Finning - fundraising challenge. We couldn't be more grateful and inspired.

Mach mit beim Wettschwimmen & Schwimme für ein Ende des Finnings.
Nicht mehr lange und viele Hai-Arten werden verschwunden sein. In diesem Juli sucht Project AWARE nach 100 Finathon™ Champions, die zum Schutz der Haie beim Wettschwimmen mitmachen.

Two leading marine science and conservation organizations, the Marine Conservation Institute and Mission Blue, issued the 1st-ever quantitative, scientifically rigorous national ranking of states’ protection of their ocean waters. SeaStates: How Well Does Your State Protect Your Coastal Waters? shows that most states and territories are failing to safeguard our nation’s marine life, seafood and coasts.
Oceans are crucial to our health and economy.

Today the EU Council of Ministers formally adopted a strengthened EU ban on shark finning, the wasteful practice of slicing off a shark’s fins and discarding the body at sea. 
            

상어들 어종이 사라지는 것은 시간 문제입니다. 프로젝트 AWARE는 상어를 보호하기 위해 달릴 100 Fianthon™ 챔피언들을 찾고 있습니다. 상어에 열광적이라면 Fianthon™에 참여하여 이들 보호를 위한 기금 마련 활동에 참여해 주십시오. 상어 지느러미 채취를 끝장 내기 위해 몇 명이나 모집할 수 있으십니까?
Fianthon™은 무엇인가요? 마라톤식 수영대회, 재미있는 달리기, 싸이클 경주 또는 마라톤과 같은 Fianthon™은 당신의 공동체 사람들을 한데 모으고 이 독특한 이유를 위한 인식을 높이고 지원을 위한 기금을 마련하는 훌륭한 방법이 됩니다. 당신은 다음으로 프로젝트 AWARE를 도울 수 있습니다:
◦지느러미 채취 금지를 위해 투쟁
◦심각하게 멸종 위기에 처한 상어들을 위한 완전한 보호를 주장
◦모든 상어들을 위한 밝은 미래를 위해 강한 정책들을 협상

鯊魚隨著時間一分一秒流逝正在漸漸消失。Project AWARE 正在尋找100個「鰭拉松」（Finathon™）勇士加入活動來保護鯊魚。如果您支持保護鯊魚的活動，今天就加入「鰭拉松」為鯊魚保護募款。您能策動多少人參加游泳活動來遏止割除鯊魚鰭的現象呢？
什麼是「鰭拉松」？這就好似馬拉松式的游泳比賽、募捐長跑、自行車賽或馬拉松──「鰭拉松」（Finathon™）可結合您社群的力量，提高鯊魚保護意識，為保護鯊魚這個目標來募款。您可以協助Project AWARE做的事有：
◦為遏止割除鯊魚鰭的現象挺身而出
◦堅持提供全面的保護給嚴重瀕臨絕種的鯊魚
◦透過談判使得強而有力的政策得以施行，確保所有鯊魚擁有良好的生存環境。
為什麼對象是鯊魚？獵捕鯊魚在大部分地區都無法令規定，因此每天有數以千計的鯊魚因為被割除鯊魚鰭而死亡。Project AWARE最近捍衛住前所未有的貿易保護規模，保護世界上其中八種最需要受到保護的鯊魚和鰩魚，但還需要透過別的方式來確保鯊魚的生存。
鯊魚的生存不是偶然，要透過潛水員的努力才能夠生存。今年七月，我們要為鯊魚做些事情，我們要透過游泳來遏止割除鯊魚鰭的現象。已是時候採取行動來保護鯊魚，請邀請您的潛伴組團前來共襄盛舉！

Doe mee en ga "Swimming to End Finning".
De tijd dringt voor de bedreigde haaiensoorten. Voor de maand juli is Project AWARE op zoek naar 100 Vinathon™-kampioenen die meedoen aan de race om deze dieren te beschermen. Als jij VINatiek bent voor de haaien, sluit je dan vandaag nog aan bij de VINathon en breng geld bijeen voor de bescherming van haaien.
Wat is de Vinathon™?
Net als een "zwemathon", sponsorloop, fietstocht of marathon is de Vinathon een goede manier om mensen bij elkaar te brengen, bewustzijn te kweken en fondsen te werven voor dit unieke doel.

Únete a la Carrera y Ponte a Nadar para Acabar con el Finning.
