To reverse the decline of sharks and rays, Pew works internationally to influence fishing nations and the treaty organizations that regulate high seas fisheries and trade in endangered species. We also work with governments to designate sanctuaries in waters that still have diverse populations of sharks and to advocate regionally and internationally for shark conservation.

PROJECT GOALS:

  • reverse the global decline of shark populations
  • work internationally to influence fishing nations and treaty organizations that regulate high seas fisheries
  • work with nations whose waters still have diverse populations of sharks to advocate for international shark conservation
