February 5, 2011

“Steven proved his point by jumping into the water and swimming out to the closest net. From there he tossed a ball over the net towards the captive dolphins. He wanted them to have some form of activity that could possibly take their minds off of their situation.

March 26, 2012

It’s no wonder that Hunter Shaffer’s dream is to swim in the ocean. He loves the inhabitants.

At the age of seven, he started to research fish. Having his own aquarium, he wanted to see that his little friends were well taken care of. As time wore on, he became well versed in aquatic nature. By the time he was 9, he was educating others on natural habitats and the ideal conditions for finned pets.

Learning that our ocean’s inhabitants were in such danger prompted him to become more than just an educator. He became an activist! Read More . . .
