Underwater Education & Training Center of New England will be launching their "Adopt A Shark" program this coming spring. Anyone who loves, cares about or simply enjoys sharks may "adopt" a Blacktip Shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) for a donation amount, which has yet to be determined.
In exchange for a donation, the proud "parent(s)" will receive a color photograph of their shark, an Adoption Certificate, a brief story relating to their particular shark and a brochure about the Blactip Shark species.
As many here already know, Blacktips have a unique identifying 'black tip' on their dorsal fin, which is how will allow people to select their shark from our web site.
A portion of donations will go to support shark research and a portion will go to support the Jim Sands Memorial Marine Educational Scholarship program.
UPDATE 02/08/2005: We are currently in the process of preparing the documents and acquiring the photos of aproximately a dozen individual sharks. This program is scheduled to get underway sometime in April or May!
Thank you for all of the interest! (Oh, by the way, Patriots Dynasty!!!)
