Massivit 3D Prints Shark Replica for Activist Campaign

Massivit has printed a two meter replica of a shark to support the Silence of the Sharks campaign fighting against indiscriminate shark hunting.
According to an article on 3D Printing Industry:

Through its ability to 3D print large size objects at low cost and high speeds, Massivit is enabling a new type of visual communication, which opens up new possibilities in terms of reaching out to large audiences with powerful messages. One of the first applications of this approach is for the recent Silence of the Sharks campaign against indiscriminate hunting of these mighty fish.
A total of 87 dedicated divers, holding protest posters and escorted by a 2-meter long, 3D printed, shark statue, carried out the opening dive of the campaign at the Satil wreck in Eilat, Israel. This global underwater campaign against shark hunting was initiated by producer David Pilosof in cooperation with shark conservation organizations worldwide. The campaign is composed of a series of mass dives held in many different countries around the world. Each dive is an underwater protest hosting tens or hundreds of divers equipped with waterproof banners and speaking up in the name of sharks. These dives are documented professionally and covered by local and international media in an attempt to raise public consciousness, which will, hopefully eventually, translate into action.
The official opening dive of the campaign was successfully carried out last week. Nir Avni, one of leading professionals in the Israeli diving industry, directed the dive and had it all well-planned ahead. Divers were divided into groups of 10 and each group was led by an experienced diving instructor. A detailed briefing was followed by a live dry rehearsal, ensuring that each diver was familiar with his or her role underwater. A festive ceremony was then held, announcing the official opening of the campaign, after which, divers began to gear up and head out into the water.
