Hawaii Polo Life & Ocean Ramsey 2013

While swimming with Great Whites is a thrilling and inspiring experience, my interaction with sharks is absolutely driven by my greater goal to advocate shark conservation. Many people fear sharks and have unfortunately only seen them portrayed on TV and in films as mindless man-eating machines.

In truth, sharks are intelligent, calculated, and generally very cautious about approaching humans. More importantly, sharks play a vital role in maintaining a healthy ocean ecosystem and are being over-fished to the point of extinction. As the Sengalese environmentalist Baba Dioum said, “ In the end people will only protect what they love, and only love what they understand.”

Hawaii Polo Life was thrilled to team up and collaborate with Ocean Ramsey. Hawaii Polo Life is the fusion of Ocean & Polo cultures, and we love the cause and voice that Ocean brings to the animals and the water surrounding the Aloha State.
