Our main objective is to educate about sharks and raise awareness about the need for shark conservation.
Methods we use to achieve our goals:
  • Bumper stickers, wristbands, ‘Save Our Sharks’ branded clothing.
  • Petitioning against shark nets, drum lines and shark finning.  
  • Social media presence, providing educational resources for schools and supporting other shark conservation websites, initiatives and organisations.​

​All money raised goes directly back to shark conservation, whether it be creating more stickers, paying for the upkeep of our website, or larger scale initiatives such as billboards and educational programs.
​

We would like to express our gratitude to all those who have supported
​Save Our Sharks financially or in generosity.

Jack White spent the last 6 months on the island of Oahu, in Hawaii. During this time, he met a Galapagos shark diver & conservationist by the name of Ryan.
Together they created a short video about the sharks, their wellbeing and their future.

For 15 years my family and I visited Smoky Cape 
Light House on our Christmas holidays. Each year 
    I would stare misty eyed at Fish Rock and wonder what was living under that rock. Three years ago I decided I would give up a day of surfing and dive the rock.
Weather stalled my first two attempts, but this year it all came together. I hope my little video helps to change peoples  perceptions and that they will learn to love all marine creatures, especially our sharks.
​
Cheers, David Forrest
