MILESTONES IN 2009:

 

EARTH DAY 2009: This year, we celebrated the "Green Generation" with the following core tenants:

  • A carbon-free future based on renewable energy that will end our common dependency on fossil fuels, including coal.
  • An individual’s commitment to responsible, sustainable consumption.
  • Creation of a new green economy that lifts people out of poverty by creating millions of quality green jobs and transforms the global education system into a green one.

 

SEA SHEPHERD CONSERVATION SOCIETY: ChallengerDeep and our members raised over $600.00 for SSCS through a variety of campaigns, leveraging the power of social networking sites, educational displays at dive sites and events and through grassroots campaigning,  ChallengerDeep remained involved in the fight to stop the Japanese Whaling fleet's continued assault on whales in the Southern Ocean, the slaughter of whales in the Faroe Islands, the killing of Seals in Canada, illegal long-lining and the decimation of Shark populations worldwide.

 

SHARKLAB AND SHARK TRUST: ChallengerDeep as active in ongoing research in the Adriatic Sea. Through promotion of "2009 The Year of The Shark" and our partnership with Sea Explorers, Shark Lab and the Shark Trust will give us the opportunity to identify critical area and shape shark conservation efforts.
