Happy Earth Day from SharkTales Art. Meet the Seagrass Protector. Seagrass meadows and mangrove forests are natural carbon recapture mechanisms that help to sequester carbon and return it to the earth. 11% of Sharks and Rays live in seagrass and mangroves. Sharks act as a natural protector of the seagrass from overgrazing. By protecting sharks, we can help to protect the ocean and our planet. SharkTales Art is a new approach to communal art collecting and ocean conservation founded by Andre Miripolsky. SharkTales Art proudly supports BeneathTheWaves.org Founded in 2013 as a non-profit organization, Beneath The Waves is dedicated to promoting ocean health and using science and technology to catalyze ocean policy. They are broad in their approach, but they focus their work on protecting threatened species, establishing protected areas, and creating nature-based solutions to climate change. Beneath The Waves collaborates with governments, the general public, and the private sector to scale their impact. Their conservation science is driving tangible and defensible conservation outcomes while bringing conservation messages to the masses through their unique storytelling and media platform.
