Shark Stewards is a kelp roots organization relying on volunteer energy to save sharks and protect ocean habitat. We always have hands on need during our community advocacy, education and outreach celebrations, but we rely on volunteers for the real work saving sharks internationally, wherever you are. During COVID we have continued our education program, writing and outreach efforts online. With petitions, social media and web outreach, whatever your age or talents, you can help us from anywhere in the world by sharing our work through social media and contributing your passion.
