Our Mission

Since 2017 Save the Shark is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the sea and marine fauna. Our mission is to conserve marine ecosystems and protect sharks, crucial creatures for the balance of the oceans.

We conduct in-depth research on shark life and marine ecosystems. We implement educational programs to raise public awareness about the importance of protecting the oceans. We collaborate with scientific institutions, governments, and other organizations to develop effective conservation policies.

Our Goals

Our main goal is to ensure the long-term survival of sharks and the health of the oceans. We aim to reduce marine pollution, preserve critical marine habitats, and promote sustainable fishing practices.
