Our Mission:
Restoring Ocean Health & Saving Sharks
Shark species are going extinct, and with them the important ocean ecosystems humans rely on for our own health.
Oceans in Crisis: 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 and mitigate the impacts caused by climate change.
