Ocean health non-profit Beneath The Waves created a unique series of ocean conservation NFTs and the range is more than just a digital art collection that provides a sense of ownership. With the digital assets, buyers will be able to tag a shark and watch its activity for a limited amount of time. The initiative to support ocean science and research promises to send collectors "on an epic shark research expedition in the Caribbean" and there are a total of 68 unique opportunities to tag threatened reef and tiger sharks.
