Our Mission:
Saving Endangered Sharks from Overfishing and the Shark Fin Trade, and Protecting Critical Marine Habitat.
1/3 of all sharks and rays are threatened with extinction, and with their loss the important ocean ecosystems humans rely on for our own health are at risk.
Why Save Sharks?
Sharks keep the oceans healthy. We rely on the oceans for over half our oxygen, and the oceans are a major carbon sink. Saving sharks can keep us breathing, balance ecosystems and mitigate the impacts caused by climate change.
Save a Shark, Protect the Ocean
Shark Stewards is an international non-profit dedicated to saving sharks and ocean habitat. For over 18 years, our work has saved millions of sharks by introducing shark fin trade bans, regulating fisheries and supporting marine protected areas.

Keep Sharks Swimming
Sharks are being overfished globally, killed as bycatch or for their fins to make shark fin soup. The shark fin trade contributes to plummeting shark populations across the world. But the problem is deeper than this.

Federal Court Supports ESA Protection

Save Willy Act Would Protect Whales in San Francisco Bay
In 2025, 24 whales died in the San Francisco Bay Area according to the California Academy of Sciences, marking this the highest mortality rate in 25 years. Congressman Sam Liccardo (CA-16) introduced the “Save Willy Act,” a bill designed to prevent the deadly ship strikes that are claiming the lives of whales in record numbers.
