This unique Giclée print, Carcharodon carcharias is finished with subtle flecks of silver leaf. It is a statement piece that would look great in a home or workplace.
The money raised from the winning bids will support the Shark Trust ‘Help Sharks this Christmas’ campaign, funding vital conservation, education and advocacy work for sharks, skates and rays.
And the best bit… through the Big Give’s Christmas Challenge, the winning bids will be match funded, doubling their impact for shark conservation.

Sharks, skates and rays are vital for a healthy ocean. However, after decades of growing pressure from overfishing, habitat loss and weak protection, over 1/3 of 1,199 species are threatened with extinction. Without urgent, sustained conservation work, more species will decline and be pushed to the brink. The Shark Trust campaign aims to:
- Protect threatened sharks, skates and rays through evidence-based conservation action.
- Influence stronger fisheries management and policy for vulnerable species.
- Equip communities, educators and supporters to speak up for shark conservation.
- Support research that improves knowledge of sharks, skates and rays.
The Shark Trust Big Give charity auction will be live from now until the 1st December. When the winning bids will be sent to be combined with donations to the Shark Trust Big Give Christmas Challenge (running from 1-8th December). These bids, along with donations made during the week-long challenge will be doubled and put to use in shark and ray conservation.
