What we do in shark conservation
Humane Society International and the Australian Marine Conservation Society are joining forces for shark conservation, Australia-wide. We do this to help protect endangered shark populations and rays in Australian waters. Sharks are vital to healthy ocean ecosystems, but sadly in Australia and around the world, they are under threat from overfishing, culling programs and habitat loss. Together we are working on achieving better outcomes for sharks and rays in our oceans, but we’ll need you to join us by becoming a Shark Champion. It’s a small contribution that makes a world of difference, enabling us to continually promote Australian shark conservation.
