Sharks and rays are one of the oldest and most diverse group of animals on Earth. These vulnerable creatures are an irreplaceable part of the world’s biodiversity, but many species are at risk of disappearing. One quarter of all shark and ray species are threatened with extinction.

Sharks Pacific is working with Island communities, fishermen, policy makers, and scientists to understand sharks and rays in Pacific waters—and to create effective policies to protect vulnerable species. Through research, outreach, education and advocacy, we are working to understand the complex issues contributing to the decline of shark and ray populations and helping to create effective regulations that will protect them for future generations.
