Shark Policy

The Shark Trust acts as an effective advocate for sustainable shark management, working with stakeholders and Ministries at a UK, European and international level. The Trust contributes to a number of government level working groups and consultations and has worked hard to develop a solid reputation for the provision of fact-based information.

We have made significant progress towards effective shark conservation and management, culminating in this year’s final push to close the loopholes in the EU Shark Finning Regulation - a campaign ten years in the running and started by the Trust in 2001.

The Trust takes a pragmatic approach towards fisheries and endeavours to work with sectors of the commercial industry and other interested stakeholders.
