Ocean News for the Sea of Cortez and the Mexican Pacific

Most 5-year old kids anticipate their birthday; excited by the idea of cake, ice cream and, above all, presents. Shaw Sabori, however, is not your typical 5-year old. Shaw loves sharks and decided he wanted one of his own.

Shaw asked his mom if, instead of presents, friends and family could donate money so he would be able to adopt and name a shark through Adopt A Shark. His mom thought this was a great idea and asked her son if he wanted to take it a step further and throw a fundraiser. He was sold.
The party was themed Pirate Party and Shaw's friends and family were invited for this gift-free birthday.

Jessica, from Adopt A Shark, later went to Shaw's class and taught the children about sharks and their importance in the oceans. The kids loved the presentation and we were able to plant the seed of conservation into more young minds! Shaw will be naming the next shark tagged by Adopt A Shark. He has spread the word about sharks and is an exemplary shark ambassador. 

Shaw's parents serve as wonderful examples for their children. Together they have published a fun and educational children's book about recycling and conservation called "Lu and the Earth Bug Crew." Learn more about the Earth Bugs at www.earthbugcrew.com.
