Big Shark Pledge Appeal
About the Big Shark Pledge
Many of our best known and much-loved sharks make their home on the high seas, the open-ocean beyond national borders. In our shared ocean, these sharks and rays face a very real threat from a huge international fleet of industrial-scale fishing vessels. Research published in early 2021 confirmed that over three-quarters of oceanic sharks and rays are now at risk of extinction due to the destructive impact of overfishing. They have declined by 71% over the last 50 years.
The Big Shark Pledge supports the vital work of our Oceanic Programme. Your donation will help us put pressure on governments and fisheries. And make the positive changes required to safeguard these awesome sharks.
This will be a long-term international and collaborative effort. Forging a pathway to rebuild populations of high-seas sharks and rays. By putting science at the heart of shark conservation and fisheries management. And making the vital changes needed to set populations on the road to recovery.

Thank you for the work you are doing to save the sharks. I just watched Gordon Ramsey's documentary "Shark Bait" and was moved to tears and nausea. I had no idea this repulsive and cruel industry existed.
