Adopt A Shark

Know someone crazy about sharks? Adoptions make the perfect gift! We'll send them a 'jawsome' adoption pack, so they can learn all about their shark.

You’ll also be helping to fund vital shark research. It's a win win!

Your adoption pack includes:

Personalised Certificate
Factsheets - learn all about your amazing shark & research project
A4 Poster
Bookmark
Set of Shark Postcards

A WHOLE SHIVER OF SHARKS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!

Sharks are difficult to keep track of because they live deep in the ocean and travel great distances. So our adoptions work a little differently to many others. Instead of adopting one individual shark, you'll be adopting many by helping to fund vital research projects and campaigns.

To help you choose your shark click on the images below to find out why we think each one is so awesome:
