Our aim is to protect sharks and rays from extinction and to prevent the inevitable harm this would cause to the oceans on which we all depend.

By joining the Shark Trust you'll be adding your voice to the growing number of people becoming alarmed by the threat to these exciting and magnificent creatures.

You can help us make the world aware of what's going on, and encourage authorities to control the number of sharks and rays being killed. You can also help us learn more about the way they live, and how to protect them in the future.

For our sake as well as theirs.
