Sir Richard Branson is presented with an original Guy Harvey print as the winner of the 2015 Great Shark Race, an innovative race created by the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation (GHOF) and the Guy Harvey Research Institute (GHRI) at Nova Southeastern University in Florida that allows businesses and individuals to sponsor sharks through the purchase of satellite tracking tags.

These tags enable researchers and the public to follow the tagged fish online in near real time as they travel around the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

The 2016 Great Shark Race kicks off on April 25.
