In this section, we suggest ways that anyone, no matter what level of time commitment, can help to save sharks. From writing letters to taking a pledge to starting a local chapter of Shark Savers, we have some ideas for how to get involved.
And if you don't have the time or inclination to be active, please consider donating money to support our programs.
