/24-7PressRelease/ - LAKE OSWEGO, OR, September 22, 2008 - Planet Protect Sportswearof Lake Oswego, Oregon recently unveiled the latest addition totheir successful line of sea life T-shirts - the Hammerhead Shark.The company - disturbed by the decimation of sharks through thepractice of 'shark finning' - created the shirt to remind people ofthe beauty and necessity of sharks in our oceans. More than 100million sharks are killed each year for fins, oils and othernon-necessary commercial products. 10% of each T-shirt sale goestoward ocean advocacy.

Planet Protect Sportswear founder - Jim Beriault, an oceanadvocate, has personally seen the increases in pollution(especially plastic debris), and ocean damage and started PlanetProtect Sportswear to raise money, awareness and sell clothing thathas meaning for their customers.

He recently asked his designers to come up with a new design in theSea Life Series. Currently the company sells a dolphin, turtle, andstingray design and decided to add the Hammerhead Shark to theseries. "Right now congress is seeking to protect sharks in U.S.waters (The bill is in the Senate), hopefully the bill will besigned into law, however, throughout the world, sharks are killedfor fins, oils and other non-essential items some people deemvaluable. I totally disagree with these practices and we will putour money to work to stop the senseless slaughter of these amazingpredators," said Jim Beriault, CEO of Planet Protect Sportswear.

Planet Protect's primary goal is to help fund several non-profitgroups helping fight against pollution and seek to protect our mostvaluable ocean based resources for future generations. During thecheck-out process the Planet Protect customer can designate 10% oftheir total purchase to Oceana, Earth Share or the Planet ProtectFund (the company's lobbying fund).

The Sea-Life series for both men and women are 100% organic cottonand made in the USA.

"I've spent my life around oceans and water and feel strongly aboutprotecting our future, and aligning with strong non-profit groupsensure that we have a blue planet filled with amazing animals andhealthy for humans, now and in the future," said Beriault.

It's important to note that Planet Protect Sportswear makes theirdonations based on the total purchase price (excluding shipping andhandling charges) of the customer and this donation comes fromPlanet Protect's gross profit as a company and is not taxdeductible on the customer's part.
