This shark stamped L shaped tweezer is here for a purpose very close to my heart. Ever since I was a child my family treated Shark Week like it was a holiday. When I grew up, I was beside myself that people didn't care for Shark Week like I did. How on Earth is Shark Week not a national treasure?!
ANYWAYS... I decided to make it my own in this lash world. For years, I've been known to be that one girl who dresses up in a shark onezie and post shark facts for a whole week! This year is the exact same... but with a charitable twist. 100% of the proceeds from this tweezer will be donated straight to Shark Conservation.
Why Sharks? Here's why:
- 97 to 99% of certain regional populations of shark species like Tigers and Hammerheads in the North Atlantic are already gone.
- Even marine reserves like Galapagos and Cocos—where sharks are supposedly protected—are the target of illegal fisheries.
- There is no international enforcement mechanism to enforce the laws intended to save sharks.
- Sharks, slow to reproduce, cannot sustain the massive fishing pressures they are under.
- In 2009, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reported over 1/3 of all shark species are threatened with extinction.
- Many of the species commonly utilized in shark products are considered endangered, vulnerable or near threatened and often are obtained illegally.
- A large percentage of shark fishing around the world is illegal and supports a ruthless black market.
