Undercurrent Awarded Grant

from the November, 2022 issue of Undercurrent   Subscribe Now

In June, Undercurrent was awarded a $1000 grant from diver Jonathan Scott, who heads the Singing Fields Foundation, for "your coverage of environmental issues, advocacy, and fundraising for marine conservation causes."

It's quite an honor for our little nonprofit 501 (c)(3) to receive such a grant.

Since our inception, we have had a strong point of view about protecting the environment, chastising guides and photographers for handling creatures as early as the '80s, when riding a turtle or inflating a puffer fish was all the rage; criticizing those who fed fish with Cheez Whiz (yup, squeezing a tube was common practice for many years); decrying the shark finning trade that for odd reasons never made the pages of dive magazines; and explaining to divers how global warming induced by burning fossil fuels is destroying our reefs and oceans, while the industry kept silent.

Thanks, Jonathan and Singing Fields. We'll keep at it.
