The Shark Trust is auctioning two special prizes for its ‘Help Sharks this Christmas’ campaign, including a three-day experience with Marine Dynamics in South Africa, or an exclusive piece of shark art from the Oceanic 31 Exhibition by Jimmy Higgs.
The first prize is a three-day experience for two on South Africa’s Overberg coast, with accommodation and meals included, with an itinerary featuring a Marine Big 5 wildlife safari, diving with bronze whaler sharks, snorkelling with Cape fur seals, a powerboat trip to Dyer Island and a visit to the Grootbos Florilegium botanical art collection.
Combining close encounters with marine wildlife, hands-on conservation and Cape hospitality, the Marine Dynamics experience offers the winning bidders three packed days above and below the water.
The second prize is a framed A1 giclée print of a great white shark by artist and designer Jimmy Higgs. Entitled Carcharodon carcharias, it is one of the original works from the Oceanic 31 Exhibition, which has toured the UK, and is finished with subtle flecks of silver leaf.
Money raised by the winning bids will support the Shark Trust’s ‘Help Sharks this Christmas’ campaign, funding conservation, research, education and advocacy for sharks, skates and rays. The charity says more than one-third of 1,199 species are threatened with extinction as a result of pressures including overfishing, habitat loss and weak protection.
Through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, the winning bids will be match-funded – so each successful bid will generate twice as much for shark and ray conservation.
The Shark Trust charity auction closes on 1 December. The winning bids will then be combined with donations made during the Big Give Christmas Challenge, which runs from 1-8 December.
