Give a Child an Amazing Ocean Experience
If you have experienced that zen-like feeling when surrounded by sea life in or on the water, you can appreciate those that only dream about it because of difficult life circumstances. Shark Zen partners with the Florida Fishing Academy to make this first amazing experience possible for children with little chance to have it otherwise. A portion of your order's proceeds (5%) will be used to help send at-risk children fishing, snorkeling, or kayaking for the first time. Shark Zen will chronicle the children's experiences through social media and SharkZen.com.

While Shark Zen wasn't able to join this year's trip to get video footage like in past years, the FFA sent us a photo of the fishing trip we sponsored this year. It was with the amazing kids from the Edna W. Runner Tutorial Center, which is the organization that did our very first trip with us back in 2016.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and associated social distancing, we are temporarily pausing our ocean experience plans and will certainly make up for the missed trips when the situation permits.
