Discovery’s Shark Week ended August 5th—but that doesn’t mean you can’t still get in on some marine predator action. As part of Shark Week’s sponsorship of the X Games, which recently concluded in Los Angeles, Discovery Channel had a signature series of shark-themed skateboard decks created by designer friends and colleagues. Each deck is one-of-a-kind and only available through auction on CharityBuzz, with proceeds benefitting ocean conservation organization Oceana.
According to Oceana, “Today, sharks face a new threat – humans. Each year, commercial fishing kills more than 100 million sharks worldwide – including tens of millions just for their fins. Sharks are especially vulnerable to pressure from human activities because of their slow growth and low reproductive potential. Many shark populations have declined to levels where they are unable to perform their roles as top predators in the ecosystem, causing drastic and possibly irreversible damage to the oceans.”
