The Sawfish Conservation Society’s mission is to connect the world to advance global sawfish education, research, and conservation. The SCS is a group of researchers, aquarists, managers, fishers, and enthusiasts that came together to rescue sawfishes from extinction. They began in 2009 as a Facebook Group, becoming a charity in 2018. The SCS practices a multifaceted approach to sawfish conservation by providing outreach materials and hosting events to support sawfish education, providing sawfish researchers with tools and platforms to help them pursue their studies and promote collaboration, and assisting with enforcement of protective legislation.

Founded in 2014 by Dr Simon Elwen and Dr Tess Gridley, Sea Search is principally a scientific organisation that aims to conduct high quality, internationally recognised research in the marine realm. The Sea Search group is a collective of scientists and students with a strong academic background in the area of marine mammal science. They also provide specialist consultancy services and work with industry and government to promote conservation through effective management. Amongst others, they are involved in Namibian Dolphin Project, are co-ordinating Killer Whale Research and Catalogue, and one of their core programmes is the African Bioacoustics Community

The Shark Alliance was a global not-for-profit coalition founded in 2006 by Pew Charitable Trusts of non-governmental organizations dedicated to restoring and conserving shark populations by improving shark conservation policies. The aim was to campaign for an EU Shark Action Plan and to close loopholes in the EU’s ban on shark ‘finning’. The alliance was led by: The European Elasmobranch Association, The Pew Charitable Trusts, Project Aware and Shark Trust. As a result of such efforts, in 2009, the EU adopted a Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks, with improvements in shark fishing management and protection policies. Further, in 2013, European Parliament and Council of Fisheries Ministers agreed to a regulation was agreed that all sharks caught in EU waters or by EU boats globally had to be landed with their fins naturally attached, with no exceptions. With its objectives thus achieved, the project was closed.

Shark Angels focuses on educating about sharks. Their aim is to deliver 'credible shark education that demystifies sharks, engages a broad audience, and makes the learning process fun. 'Their stated goal is 'to become the go to place for those seeking balanced, accurate and empowering shark information.' While a major part of their work involves educating children, they provide considerable information resources which are accessible to all. They advocate for protection of sharks, eg. Philippines

SCF focuses on halting the overexploitation of the world’s sharks and rays, preventing extinctions, and restoring populations. This is achieved by identifying and funding shark conservation efforts that have been deemed strategic in the global defense of sharks and rays. The board, coupled with a staff that has extensive policy expertise, excels at identifying and funding the most strategic projects that are focused on the global defense of sharks and rays. The board, coupled with a staff that has extensive policy expertise, excels at identifying and funding the most strategic projects that are focused on the global defense of sharks and rays. Since its launch in 2016, SCF has funded 68 projects in more than 50 countries leveraging over $30 million for shark conservation.

Shark Guardian’s mission is ‘to advance the conservation of sharks and the natural environment through conservation, education, research projects and expeditions. There are Shark Guardian campaigns and activities taking place worldwide including the United Kingdom (where the HQ is), Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. They approach the objective through multiple strategies: Conservation, via campaigns and advocacy; Education to increase knowledge about sharks and the critical role they play in the oceans and therefore for all the planet, via presentations, diver courses and the development of resources; Research, by supporting research at universities and also citizen science programs such as eOceans; Expeditions, such as the Sardine Run off South Africa, which include elements of their education and research programmes.

Sharkproject International focuses on shark conservation at the national and international level, working closely with many other organisations in national, European and international campaigns to protect our oceans and to reform fishery management towards an ecosystem-based management approach. They focus on reducing fisheries’ impacts on sharks, other threatened species, and vulnerable marine habitats, including the deep sea, where industrial fishing has had a devastating impact.

Shark Research Institute is a multi-disciplinary non-profit scientific research organization that sponsors and conducts research on sharks and promotes shark conservation. Whaleshark research is a large part of SRI and the public is invited to participate in SRI expeditions. SRI also maintains a database of shark attacks, and provides consultants to areas where attacks are clustered to determine the causes and to recommend environmentally sound solutions. Founded in 1991 at Princeton, New Jersey, USA, today SRI has field offices in Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas, and internationally in Australia, Canada, Ecuador, Honduras, India, Mexico, Mozambique, Seychelles, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

Current projects include visual and satellite tracking, behavioural and DNA studies, environmental advocacy, publication of scientific works and public education. SRI also continue to fight for shark protections at CITES, the primary international venue for conservation treaties.

Shark Savers has merged with WildAid, with their program now part of the the WildAid portfolio, devoted to saving manta rays and sharks. They do so by raising awareness, education, and action, bringing important issues to the public and they never fail to convince and motivate people to stop slaughtering sharks and eating shark fin soup. Shark Savers work for the creation of shark sanctuaries and improved regulations that concern the species. They also encourage and empower divers as advocates for sharks. They are active around the world, with offices in North America, Ecuador, and China. There is also a Malaysia branch.

Shark Spotters is a pioneering shark safety and research organisation which pro-actively reduces interactions and conflict between recreational water users and white sharks. Started in 2004 in response to a spate of shark bite incidents and increased shark sightings, Shark Spotters is now the primary shark safety strategy used in Cape Town, South Africa. They improves beach safety by applying innovative and responsible shark safety solutions that reduce the spatial overlap between people and sharks, thereby reducing the risk of a shark bite. They also provide emergency response in the event of a shark incident, as well as conduct cutting-edge applied research on shark behaviour and ecology, raise awareness about shark safety and conservation issues, and provide employment opportunities and skills development for shark spotters.

Shark Stewards' mission is to restore ocean health by saving sharks from overfishing and the shark fin trade, and protecting critical marine habitat through the establishment of marine protected areas and shark sanctuaries. Founded in 2006, Shark Stewards is a leader in advocating and legislation to regulate overfishing sharks, the shark fin trade and creating marine protected areas.
