Hungry for more shark knowledge? Sharks 101 answers common questions and myths about shark behavior, senses, skin, safety and how we can help protect sharks.
Turning Fear Into Fascination
Shark Angels was founded on a bold idea: if people could see sharks the way we do, they’d fight to protect them. For nearly two decades, we’ve turned fear into fascination, inspiring millions through education, grassroots campaigns, and global action. From helping ban shark finning for hundreds of millions of people, to teaching the next generation to love and protect the ocean, our impact is real and lasting.
Every year, humans kill over 100 million sharks — pushing these vital guardians of the sea toward extinction. Without sharks, ocean ecosystems collapse. Without healthy oceans, life on Earth struggles to survive.
We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen. Join us. Save sharks. Protect our blue planet.
