The Olympics may be over but Shark Week has just begun! (Did you know they are celebrating their 25th anniversary?!) I wanted to share an image of Private Practice star, Kate Walsh swimming with sharks during a recent visit to Belize in honor of Oceana’s work in the country for World Ocean’s Day.

This World Oceans Day, Private Practice star Kate Walsh arrived in Belize to support Oceana’s work in the country. Kate visited Belize to raise awareness for protecting Belize’s beautiful reefs from the threat of offshore drilling. Oceana’s Belize office is dedicated to protecting the reef – the second largest barrier reef in the world – from looming offshore drilling threats. While in the country, Kate visited Hol Chan Marine Reserve, Shark Ray Alley, and the infamous Blue Hole.
