Shark Savers' Shark Sanctuary Program fills the need to support local initiatives to protect sharks (and other marine life, such as manta and mobula rays, marine mammals and turtles). Our team works with community-based partners to create outreach campaigns to garner community support for shark protection, produce effective proposals to establish legal protection for sharks, and generate international support for these initiatives. It is imperative that we act quickly to protect shark populations that still remain.
