The Shark Trust is a marine conservation charity dedicated to promoting the study, management, and conservation of sharks, skates and rays (elasmobranchs) in the UK and internationally. The Shark Trust is led by a Board of Trustees, who oversee a small but dedicated conservation and administration team, a voluntary Scientific Committee and a growing number of committed supporters.

The Shark Base citizen science project was established by SOS in 2015 and operated through 2020. The project existed until the end of 2020 when it ended due to the global pandemic which resulted in a reduction in funding. SharkBase was global database recording encounters which helped to map the distribution and structure of shark populations worldwide.

Sharklab Malta’s main objectives are to raise awareness about sharks, skates and rays, increase research efforts, and contribute to conservation on all levels. The research currently being done in Malta includes studies on the biology and ecology of different species, and the recovery and release of local oviparous species. They also focus on increasing awareness and educating people, via regular awareness activities, eggcase searches, snorkels and SCUBA dives.

Sharklife addresses the alarming exploitation of both shark populations and ocean fisheries in South African waters, actively engaging in research and protection of many marine species. In their words, 'Research and education are the main tools we use to drive marine conservation objectives'

Working together with government, industry and the non-profit sectors, SASC aims at developing a responsible co-management approach to the exploitation of elasmobranchs and other living marine resources. Their research facility, based in Hermanus, South Africa, is dedicated to conducting research on the biology and life-history of sharks, marine ecology and fishery interactions

Based in Kalpitiya in Northwest Sri Lanka, SLWCS's Marine Project addresses the conservation issues affecting Sri Lanka’s marine wildlife and is also providing opportunities for ecotourism and alternative livelihoods to promote sustainable development in the area. Their aim is to collect information about the current state of the area, including sea turtle, shark, dugong and pink dolphin conservation via nesting surveys, monitoring programmes, in-situ hatching projects, as well as educational workshops, beach clean-ups, mangrove planting, and waste management schemes. They also have an office in Nutley, New Jersey in the USA.

An official EU Citizens Initiative aiming to end shark fin trade in Europe. According to the website, although the removal of fins on board of EU vessels and in EU waters is prohibited and sharks must be landed with their fins naturally attached, it has not stopped and the EU is among the biggest exporters of fins. In January 2022 the campaign to end the shark fin trade across the European Union (EU) successfully reached and exceeded the required 1,000,000 statements of support from EU citizens and the minimum supporting thresholds from at least seven member states. The website provides information and statistics on the extent of the trade in the region

SOS focuses on supporting healthy oceans by promoting better protection for sharks and their close relatives the rays and skates. They are a science-based conservation group raising awareness to the threats faced by sharks and rays in the 21st century. Dr. Ryan Kempster established SOS with the goal of educating the public by promoting conservation, outreach and research to inspire interest in protecting these important animals, achieved by ‘on-the-ground and online campaigning, educational outreach and peer-reviewed scientific research to encourage better protection for sharks and rays’, working closely with the general public and a wide range of specialist groups including scientists, divers and politicians.

The Shark Foundation’s purpose is to contribute to the protection and preservation of sharks and their natural habitats through its own projects and through the active support of third parties. In this capacity, the Foundation supports scientific work domestically and abroad both financially and in an advisory function. Through public relations activities such as organising courses, lectures, exhibits, as well as using mass media, the public is exposed to information about the threat to many shark species and their habitats.

TRACC (Tropical Research And Conservation Centre) is a marine conservation organization based in the Celebes Sea dedicated to protecting sea turtles and restoring coral reefs destroyed by the local fish bombing practices of Malaysia. Based on Pom Pom Island in Sabah, Borneo, TRACC is working to restore local reefs that have been damaged by bomb fishing. They focus on coral reef restoration, turtles and sharks, as well as running projects that involve growing coral, rebuilding reefs and measuring biodiversity. They train divers who have the opportunity to become engaged in the conservation projects as do snorkelers. There is also an opportunity to take an A level in Marine Science.

Two Fish Divers have seven dive centres in Indonesia, on Bali, Manado, South Lombok and North Lombok. In addition to dive training, they offer opportunities to become involved in environmental projects including coral watch and restoration, shark awareness, manta ray conservation.

WCS Argentina aims to preserve the diversity of wildlife that makes Argentina unique, and to restore its landscapes in the face of growing threats. Included in this aim is protection of the South Right whale, seals, sharks and rays, penguins, amongst other species.
