"Shark Attacks of the Twentieth Century -
from the Pacific Coast of North America"

by Ralph S. Collier


Sharks are threatened and need your help. We are taking this opportunity to appeal to you to make a commitment to Shark Conservation and Research by making a significant financial contribution to the Shark Research Committee. These are challenging economic times but it is important to focus on issues that will affect our children and grandchildren. In a report issued in June 2009, a third of the world's 64 species of pelagic sharks face extinction.......like the dinosaurs.....gone forever. It has been estimated that 70 to 100 Million sharks are killed annually, primarily for their 'prized' fins. Make a special donation of only $35.00 and receive our gift of a personalized signed copy of "Shark Attacks of the Twentieth Century". Join the SRC and take pride in knowing that your contribution will help 'Save the Sharks - Save the Oceans.'
