GHOF and The Humane Society of the U.S. Team Up with Shark-Free Marina Initiative
21 Oct 20107:36 PM
I am pleased to announce that the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation is participating in a new campaign with The Humane Society of the United States and the Shark-Free Marina Initiative that will raise the bar in protecting shark populations in the U.S. and the Bahamas, while also generating awareness of shark conservation on a global scale.
The goal of this campaign is to significantly increase the number of resorts and marinas that are designated “shark-free”, which means they actively prohibit any sharks from being landed at their docks. In support of this program, the Bimini Big Game Club, a Guy Harvey Outpost Resort & Marina, has been officially declared a “Shark-Free Marina”.
To learn more about this program, read the SFMI press release and then visit the SFMI web site to learn how you can help sign up new “shark-free” resorts and marinas.
Cheers!

<a href="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/noah-cullen.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2105" src="https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/noah-cullen.jpg?w=167" alt="Noah Cullen" width="167" height="300" /></a>
It is believed Noah was free-diving in the vicinity of Molasses Reef on Sunday. His plan was to photograph the reef for conservation purposes. His sailboat, Jubilee, was found sinking 7 miles off shore at around 2:30p Sunday afternoon near Dixie Shoal (25.03.8120 N 80.15.054w). He was seen aboard Jubilee around 1pm. The storm sail was up and the boat completely sealed. He's a young guy but a seasoned Captain/Diver who grew up on the water in the Keys. He's been missing 32 hours now. If you know anyone in the Upper Keys, please ask them to keep an eye out today on the water.
If anyone has any information about his whereabouts please call the US Coast Guard Islamorada at 305-664- 8077 or Miami 305-278-6700.
If anyone could survive in the water for over 24 hours, it's Noah! Thanks.

![](mailto:?subject=2011 Billfish Invitational Underway at the Bimini Big Game Club&body=During this week's Billfish Invitational tournament, Fred Garth, Editor-In-Chief of <a title="GHM web site" href="http://www.guyharveymagazine.com">Guy Harvey Magazine</a>, will be filing a series of dispatches from tournament headquarters at the Bimini Big Game Club.
Fishing began today at the <a title="Billfish Invitational web site" href="http://www.billfishinvitational.com" target="_blank">Billfish Invitational Tournament</a> with clear skies and light winds. Local fishermen have reported good activity in recent days leading up to today’s kick off so there’s plenty of optimism in the air. Twelve boats headed out early rigged and ready for action.
Anglers and dignitaries enjoyed a full evening of festivities Wednesday evening at the newly renovated <a title="BBGC web site" href="http://www.biggameclubbimini.com" target="_blank">Bimini Big Game Club</a>, which has been rebranded and rebuilt as a <a title="About Guy Harvey Outpost" href="http://www.biggameclubbimini.com/aboutus.htm" target="_blank">Guy Harvey Outpost Resort & Marina</a>. Numerous world records have been caught in the waters here and, of course, Bimini was a favorite haunt of legendary fisherman and author Ernest Hemingway.

This is the first billfish tournament since the resort was rebuilt with the help and co-ordination of Guy Harvey. The tournament has not only attracted top fishermen but also an eclectic collection of artists and top marine photographers such as <a title="Pat Ford Photography web site" href="http://www.patfordphotos.com/" target="_blank">Pat Ford</a>, <a title="Scott Kerrigan's web site" href="http://www.scottkerrigan.com/" target="_blank">Scott Kerrigan</a>, and <a title="Bill Boyce's web site" href="http://www.boyceimage.com/" target="_blank">Bill Boyce</a>, who is shooting a documentary with Guy and his crew.
