Article Summary:

DivePhotoGuide.com has posted an open letter to the Discovery Network by SHARK-L, an international shark discussion list made up of “scientists, educators, media companies, and others,” that opposes the content of Shark Week programming. The letter specifically draws attention to the continued “mindless man-eater” image, despite recent evidence to the contrary, and the lack of information about the finning crisis and depletion of shark species. Add your name to the letter and encourage the network to support shark conservation efforts during next year’s Shark Week.
