A consortium of environmentally-minded, local yachting industry companies led by Yacht Chandlers Inc., held their 3rd annual fundraising party on Oct. 25 to benefit the new Save Our Seas Shark Center (SOS SC) at NSU. The party was organized around a carnival theme with live music and a Brazilian dance troupe performance as part of the entertainment. The event was attended by nearly 2,500 people and raised over $23,000 for the SOS SC’s shark conservation research and education activities. Several Oceanographic Center staff and graduate students volunteered as helpers at the event.
