You see them on SHARK WEEK & SHARKFEST – Now get to know them in person!

More than 60 of the world’s top shark celebrities – those TV hosts, scientists, explorers, underwater photographers, filmmakers and conservationists that you've see on Shark Week and SharkFest, BBC, network television and in documentary films – are on the auction block at Bidding For Good from August 9th through August 18th.

Being auctioned is lunch or dinner with a shark 'celeb'. This is a unique opportunity to meet one-on-one and learn about sharks from one of the world's experts.

Although most of the ‘celebs’ are in the USA, some are in Australia, Canada, Germany, Honduras, South Africa, the UK and Hong Kong, so choose ones that live nearby – unless you are able to fly or drive to their location.

To enter the auction, click on 'to register' above, and start bidding on your favorites!

The aim of the auction is twofold:

• To spotlight individuals and organizations working effectively to protect sharks.
• Generate funds for field research and shark conservation programs.

Shark Research Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Winning bids are deductible as charitable contributions from US Federal 2013 income taxes.
