Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Protect sharks and rays by educating people about why sharks are important to healthy oceans, campaigning to end shark fin soup consumption, and working to create sanctuaries.

Major Activities

Activity 2
Education and program communications:shark savers has developed and maintains one of the foremost website sources for information about sharks and shark conservation that is visited by over 200,000 people per year. We disseminate information and updates to our subscribers, representing tens of thousands of people, via email newsletters, facebook, and twitter. We produce presentations to enable volunteers to educate people of all ages about sharks and rays, their importance to the environment, and the severe threat to survival that they face.
Activity 3
Shark sanctuary program:shark savers' shark sanctuary program creates marine areas where sharks are protected by strong laws and enforcement with the full engagement of local communities. While we work to stop the consumption of shark fin, sanctuaries can keep critical shark habitats out of bounds of the shark fin trade. Shark savers has been instrumental in creating the raja ampat shark and ray sanctuary. We are currently working on additional sanctuaries.

IRS990/ActivityOrMissionDescription0PROGRAMS AND CAMPAIGNS TO PROTECT SHARKS AND RAYS.
IRS990/ActivityOther/Description0MANTA RAY OF HOPE:THE MANTA RAY OF HOPE TEAM IS DEVELOPING GLOBAL CONSERVATION CAMPAIGNS BASED ON SOUND SCIENCE TO REDUCE DEMAND FOR GILL RAKERS, SECURE LEGAL PROTECTION AND ESTABLISH MOBULID SANCTUARIES. OUR CONSUMER EDUCATION AND AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS INCLUDE COLLECTING NEVER-BEFORE SEEN FOOTAGE AND IMAGES FOR VIDEOS AND BROCHURES THAT EXPOSE THE DANGERS THAT MOBULIDS FACE, AS WELL AS WORKING WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO SHOW THEM THE IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES. WE ARE ALSO WORKING TO SECURE LEGAL PROTECTION FOR MOBULIDS BY ENACTING TRADE BANS ON MANTA AND MOBULA PARTS AS WELL AS ESTABLISHING PROTECTIONS THROUGH THE CONVENTION ON THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES AND REGIONAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS. IT IS VITAL THAT WE PROTECT OUR REMAINING MANTA POPULATIONS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THE MANTA RAY OF HOPE PROJECT, IN COLLOBARATION WITH OUR SHARK SANCTUARIES CAMPAIGN, IS WORKING TO ESTABLISH MANTA SANCTUARIES AND PROMOTING ECOTOURISM AS ALTERNATIVES TO THE GILL RAKER TRADE SO THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE BEAUTY OF MANTA AND MOBULA RAYS.
IRS990/ActivityOther/Description1SHARK FIN SOUP CAMPAIGN:REDUCING DEMAND FOR SHARK FIN SOUP IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO TO PROTECT SHARKS FROM BEING DRIVEN TO EXTINCTION. THIS DEMAND HAS CREATED THE UNSUSTAINABLE, VIRTUALLY UNRESTRAINED KILLING OF SHARKS. TENS OF MILLIONS OF SHARKS A YEAR ARE KILLED FOR THE SHARK FIN TRADE.SHARK SAVERS HAS DEVELOPED AND DISTRIBUTED A MEDIA CAMPAIGN IN ASIA BEGINNING IN 2009 TO PERSUADE PEOPLE NOT TO EAT SHARK FIN SOUP. THE CAMPAIGN HAS INCLUDED TELEVISION PSAS, VIDEOS, BILLBOARDS, GRASSROOTS INITIATIVES, AND ONLINE AND SOCIAL MEDIA. THE CURRENT CAMPAIGN IS "I'M FINISHED WITH FINS", A MULTIMEDIA CAMPAIGN THAT INCLUDES MANY REGIONAL CELEBRITIES AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, ALL HAVING STOPPED EATING SHARK FIN SOUP.
IRS990/ActivityOther/Description2BAN THE FIN:BAN THE FIN PROVIDES MATERIALS AND RESOURCES TO GUIDE INDIVIDUALS TO MAKE THEIR COMMUNITY FREE OF SHARK FINS. THE ACTIVITIES FOR THIS CAMPAIGN HAVE SINCE BEEN MERGED INTO OUR SHARK FIN SOUP CAMPAIGN (DURING 2013) AS THE OBJECTIVES FOR THE CAMPAIGNS WERE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.

IRS990/Description0SHARKSCOUNT:SHARK SAVERS WORKS TO IMPROVE PROTECTIONS FOR SHARKS. INCREASING PROTECTIONS FOR SHARKS REQUIRES INFORMATION ABOUT LOCAL POPULATIONS. HOWEVER EVEN BASIC DATA IS OFTEN ABSENT OR MISSING. DIVERS SEE SHARKS THE MOST FREQUENTLY AND REGULARLY AND ARE OFTEN FAMILIAR WITH LOCAL TRENDS BUT RARELY HAVE THE TRAINING OR TOOLS TO ACCURATELY AND CONSISTENTLY RECORD THESE VALUABLE SIGHTINGS IN A WAY THAT CAN BE USEFUL TO SHARK CONSERVATION AND ADVOCACY.SHARKSCOUNT SEEKS TO CLOSE AN IMPORTANT DATA GAP BY ENABLING DIVERS TO ACT AS "CITIZEN SCIENTISTS FOR SHARKS." OVER TIME, THESE SIGHTINGS WILL PROVIDE ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ABOUT LOCAL SHARK POPULATION TRENDS WITH THE POTENTIAL OF IMPROVING PROTECTIONS FOR SHARKS.SHARK SAVERS WORKS WITH LEADING MARINE SCIENTISTS TO ENSURE THAT OUR DATA COLLECTION METHODOLOGY IS WELL DEVELOPED AND USEFUL. WE CREATE WELL-DESIGNED SURVEYS AND MAKE PLANS FOR ACCURATE ANALYSIS AND EFFECTIVE DISSEMINATION WHEN SURVEYING SHARKS OR ANY OTHER SPECIES. MAKING DATA AVAILABLE TO SCIENTISTS, RESOURCE MANAGERS, AND OUR LOCAL PARTNERS IS CRUCIAL FOR EFFECTIVE ANALYSIS AND APPLICATIONS OF THE COLLECTED INFORMATION. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT FOR INVOLVED CITIZENS AND DIVERS TO BE AWARE OF WHEN AND HOW SCIENTISTS UTILIZE THIS DATA, TO HELP FURTHER ENHANCE PUBLIC SCIENTIFIC LITERACY.
