Can I use an image/illustration I've seen on your website?

Most of our images are kindly donated to us for Shark Trust use only. We don't own the copyright and so cannot grant permission for you to use them. Or provide you with high resolution files. To do this you'll need to contact the photographer or illustrator directly.

Shark illustrations used in our ID Guides belong to Marc Dando, who can be contacted directly at www.wildlifeillustrator.com. If you'd like to use these for commercial purposes, a fee will usually be required.

Do you offer internships & work experience?

Expand

From time to time we offer in-house placements, but these are limited due to staff capacity and desk space. 

We also attend lots of outreach events. These can be hard work to plan, organise, and attend, so we appreciate any help. This could be for you if you enjoy talking to people and want to gain experience educating the public about sharks.

I’m looking for someone to fund my research project. Can you help?

Expand

As a small charity we rely on grant funding and donations. So i'm afraid we're not in a position to fund student research or external organisations. But we wish you all the best and hope you find alternative funding.
