Mission Statement
"Imagine a time not too far from now in which every single person is involved in conservation of some kind. This is a world I can see. Can you imagine what might occur in a world where everyone took a step to help the planet recover from the abuses of past and even present generations? How do you think that would impact your personal life? Less pollution, lower energy costs, less dependence on foreign source of food and fuel which might lead to fewer wars. This is a world I imagine and it impossible if we work together to create it. Join me. Choose to lead. Choose to inspire. If you do I know we will all be successful. If you lead those around you, if you inspire those around you, every one of us will help to make a difference”. - Scott Cassell-CEO, UV
Overview
Sharks are the basis for many fears in mankind... including myself. My fear however, is not of being attacked or eaten by a giant shark but rather of a sea without them. Over the past forty years I have come to love sharks the way most other people love beautiful dogs. My love affair with sharks has led me to hand feed grey reef sharks off the Bahamas, petting them, rolling them over and even petting them. A 900 pound Tiger shark played fetch with me off Tiger Beach using a Louisiana car license plate with a 6 foot piece of line for nearly an hour. She would swim off to pick up the license plate and swim near me again so I could grab the line and yank it out of her mouth, toss it away like a frisbee only to have the process repeated again and again.
An event to bring the Oceanic health of our beautiful coast into your living room, classroom and the world in 3D. A team of dedicated explorers push the boundaries of science and human endurance to show what is possible.
