We think it’s time to re-invent shark conservation and our collective approach – and make it contagiously fun in the process! Simply put, we are on global mission to stand up for sharks and their watery homes, leaving this beautiful, blue planet in a better state than we inherited it in.
Mission
Since 2007, Shark Angels has united a global community to protect sharks and our oceans by transforming fear into fascination and empowering people through education, science, and advocacy. We take action through research, education, diving, legislation, and outreach.
Our Earn Your Wings Mentorship Program connects students and the public to shark science, offering real-world experience in research, communication, and advocacy. Monthly Chomps shares fascinating shark facts to deepen public understanding.
We provide free educational presentations to schools worldwide, inspiring the next generation of eco-warriors. Our collaborations with other nonprofits have helped advance shark fin trade bans and anti-finning laws. We also promote responsible shark diving to foster personal connections with these incredible animals.
Together, we’re working toward one goal: to save sharks.
Goals
