As 2024 draws to a close, I want to share with you the remarkable impact your support has made in protecting our ocean’s most misunderstood and vital predators. Over the past year, Shark Stewards has expanded our reach from the classroom to the deep blue, creating lasting change for shark conservation and marine protection.
Like a pelagic shark, Shark Stewards is lean, mean and highly effective!
Support Pacific Island Marine Sanctuaries
In the next three years we have our sights on increasing marine protection in US waters through the creation of two new National Marine Sanctuaries: one in California with the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary, and one in Hawaii with the creation of the Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Sanctuary. Creating the proposed Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Sanctuary within the Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Monument and the Pacific Remote Islands National Marine Sanctuary (PRINMS). These Sanctuary designations will provide stricter protection and can avoid challenges from future administrations stripping marine and cultural protection for resource extraction.
