With your help, Shark Stewards has catalyzed considerable conservation success for sharks in the Congress with the US Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act, regulating gear in Pacific fisheries, and passing global trade restrictions this year!
This month, the Congress made the penultimate step towards saving overfished shark populations and endangered sharks from extinction, by passing a bill that will ban the USA’s involvement in the global shark fin trade.
We are grateful that in 2021 we saw the reintroduction of the California Driftnet Ban and the US Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act: two acts of legislation that Shark Stewards have been involved with since 2013. We are actively supporting the establishment of two new cultural and national marine sanctuaries with NOAA.
Join us for a series of online and in-person events celebrating the ocean, taking action to reduce plastic pollution, and saving sharks and whales in our National Marine Sanctuaries and beyond.
Join our growing network of citizen scientist divers making and sharing observations of plants, animals, and seaweeds in our California Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
