"It's not every day that people can go out, meet a shark close up, tag it and then follow its progress, but that's what Bermudian filmmaker Choy Aming is offering for a price.

After winning the Special Jury Prize at the Bermuda International Film Festival (BIFF) for his nature film 'My Backyard', Mr. Aming joined with Island veterinarian Neil Burnie to start a tiger shark tagging project.

To help fund it, he is looking for companies and individuals for sponsorship. It costs $6,000 to sponsor a shark, but along with adopting the animal, they are also given the opportunity to meet their shark in its environment."
