CONSERVATION ACTIONS


One of the most important things you can do to help sharks is to learn about the different species, their habitats, and their behaviors. By educating yourself on the issues, you can find effective ways to help!

How to Make a Difference

Everyone can influence change, no matter their age. Here are some ways you can make a difference based on your age.

It’s up to us to keep our oceans healthy and clean and to protect the sharks who live there. We can all do our part by making good choices every day. Follow along and make a difference with these simple actions:


  • Recycle plastics and don’t litter – Even though we might not live by the ocean, our trash can still travel over land, down streams, rivers, and storm drains to the ocean.
  • Tell a family member, teacher, or educator about your favorite shark and inspire them to learn more.

8-13 Years

We can make small choices every day to help keep our oceans healthy and clean and to protect the sharks who live there. Make a difference in your community with these simple actions:


  • Recycle plastics and don’t litter – Even though we might not live by the ocean, our trash can still travel over land, down streams, rivers, and storm drains to the ocean.

  1. Choosing sustainable seafood is one of the best things you can do to support healthy oceans. If you eat fish or other seafood, opt for farmed sources or choose suppliers that practice sustainable fishing techniques.
    • The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch guide is a great resource to use for recommendations on which seafood items are “Best Choices” or “Good Alternatives,” and which ones you should “Avoid.”
    • Let your favorite businesses know that ocean-friendly seafood’s on your shopping list. Companies in your community play a crucial role in the conservation of ocean resources and they listen to their customers. Ask them to support sustainable seafood and start making a difference today.
  2. Learn more about shark conservation and research to find ways you can get involved and spread awareness.
    • The internet is a great resource for learning and finding more ways to help. Below are a few websites to get you started:

3. Contact your representatives to tell them that shark conservation is important to you and that you would like them to introduce and support legislation that will list sharks as protected species, ban shark finning and fishing, and set up conservation areas in the oceans around your country.
