An unlikely “collabeeration” was recently formed when Cape Breton’s Big Spruce Brewing out of Nyanza, Nova Scotia teamed up with marine scientists at the Dalhousie-based Ocean Tracking Network.

By collaborating with marine scientists the owner of Big Spruce Brewing, Jeremy White, hopes bring awareness to the variety of sharks at risk in Nova Scotia waters. 20,000 cans will be produced and 50 cents from each can will be donated to the Ocean Tracking Network.
