Cape Town – Nina Dobrev has teamed up with Oceana to raise awareness on the shark finning crisis.

In doing so the Vampire Diaries actress set aside one of her biggest fears and took to the waters for a swim with the “amazing creatures”.

“I am thrilled to join up with Oceana and help fight for healthy oceans,” Nina said of joining the team.

“I’ve been fascinated by sharks for a while. They used to scare me, but once I realized what amazing creatures they are, I knew I needed to lend my voice and support to Oceana’s campaign for their protection,” she added.
