Shark Savers was founded in 2007 by six long-time divers driven by a shared passion – to save the world’s dwindling shark and ray populations. Today, more than 25,000 members from 99 nations share that passion.
Focusing on action and results, Shark Savers programs result in saving the lives of sharks and rays. By leveraging professional experience and expertise, Shark Savers brings this important issue to the masses in many compelling forms, motivating people to stop consuming sharks and shark fin soup, and working for the creation of shark sanctuaries and other protections.
Sharks were once plentiful and often experienced by divers along the Florida coast. As in many places in the world, those shark populations are now severely depleted and seeing a shark is a rarity.
In "Now, More Thank Ever, Sharks Count", pioneering divers recount their experiences decades ago of seeing many sharks when diving. Unfortunately, we have only their memories and not recorded data.
