Update: After posting story, Patric Douglas contacted us with the following information - makes the whole Shark-Free Marina concept even more powerful:
"THIS marina went SF due to the efforts of one local woman who wanted to do something for sharks and her name is Kate Metzler.
Kates story is even more wonderful when you come to discover she purchased two signs on her own and walked right into the marina with the website material and got them to make the change for sharks!
This is the vision behind the SFMI, empowering people in their own areas to help sharks.
Kudos to Kate and the hundreds of other Kates just like her out there.
It starts with "One".
Thanks for the post. "
Harwich Port Boat Yard has become a shark-free marina thanks to the efforts of Luke Tipple (Director of the Shark-Free Marina project) and Patric Douglas (CEO of Shark Divers).
Take a look at the growing number of marinas that are doing the right thing: http://www.sharkfreemarinas.com/current-shark-free-marinas.shtml

Hi Guys,
Can you update your post? Luke and I do not take any credit beyond a website and a shark conservation direction, and anyone can do that.
