Read on to see how you can get involved!
 
Shark Trust campaigns involve the lobbying of governments within the UK, Europe and at an international level. Campaigning may also involve working directly with stakeholders including commercial and recreational fishing sectors and associated industries, scuba divers, yachtsmen, and the general public.

The Trust campaigns in a rational manner using fact based material to support our positions; we do not engage in direct action. Although our activities may not necessarily grab headlines, they do get results!  
 
The Shark Trust's campaigns cover all aspects of shark conservation and shark fisheries management, including; action against shark finning; campaigning for sustainable European management of shark, skate and ray fisheries; lobbying for improved protection through international (e.g. CITES) and domestic measures (e.g. the Wildlife and Countryside Act); and other national and international shark concerns on a case by case basis.
