Digital Media Exec Leads Shark Hunt Protest

  • June 13, 2008
Madison Avenue digital media maven and marine life conservationist Jason Heller will help lead a Humane Society protest at the annual Montauk Shark Tournament Saturday in Montauk, Long Island. Heller, the former head of interactive media at Horizon Media Inc., and a professional underwater photographer who for years has used film to document the endangered marine wildlife, says sharks are a critical "apex predator" that help keep marine ecosystems in balance and that they are being decimated due to over fishing. This year's Montauk Shark Tournament, one of the largest in the world, will be held days after Congress passed the Shark Conservation Act of 2008. Additional information about the event and the protest can be found on Heller's underwater photography site.
