DESCRIPTION:      WildAid, a non-profit wildlife conservation organization based in San 
 Francisco, presents “Sharks in the Park” on September 21, 2002, at the 
 California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. Officially proclaimed 
 by Governor Davis, WildAid Day will be devoted to increasing public 
 awareness about one of our ocean’s most fascinating and endangered 
 creatures, sharks.  Our goal is to help children, adults and young adults 
 discover more about the beauty of these creatures, how they play a crucial 
 role in our marine ecosystem and how everyone can become active players in 
 conserving the delicate balance of our natural resources.  \n       
 Featured at the event will be WildAid’s life-size 50 ft. helium whale 
 shark balloon soaring high above the Academy as a landmark and main 
 attraction.  In addition, 3 other life-size shark balloons will be on 
 display in the main lobby and around the main courtyard as part of our 
 exhibit.  \n      WildAid also plans to launch a brand new shark 
 exhibition, an eight panel exhibit providing in-depth information about 
 shark populations and their conservation.  \n     In partnership with other 
 organizations, WildAid has developed 2 interactive CD Roms.  One contains a 
 shark cartoon and games for youngsters while the other is focused on 
 interesting facts about various shark species. Both will be available, so 
 that the children and students can have fun while they learn.  \n      
 Younger children will also be entertained and earn prizes with unique games 
 and contests such as ‘pin the fin on the shark’, special shark quizzes 
 and name-the-whale-shark.  \n     As an added attraction, the San Jose 
 Sharks mascot, Sharkie, will be making a special appearance to sign 
 autographs and help support our cause.  WildAid supporter Peter Benchley, 
 author of Jaws, will be attending the event and will be available to sign 
 his new book.  \n  For more information please check out our website at
