Turning Fear Into Fascination + Passion Into Action For Shark Conservation

An estimated 73 million sharks are killed each year. That works out to more than 10,000 sharks per hour. While shark fins for shark fin soup are a major reason, sharks are also killed for their meat, cartilage, and liver oil. In addition, bycatch, where sharks are not the target catch, may account for as much as 50% of the sharks killed annually. It is estimated that 90 percent of large sharks have been wiped out regionally.

The reality is, like them or not, sharks are crucial to the health of our planet. For millions of years, sharks have played a vital role in the oceans’ food web, keeping our largest and most important ecosystem healthy. The oceans produce more oxygen than all the rainforests combined, remove almost 1/3 of the atmosphere’s manmade carbon dioxide, and control our planet’s temperature and weather.

Shark Angels is a shark conservation nonprofit committed to changing the future for sharks through education and science, turning fear into fascination and passion into action.
