What the charity does
We work with research groups, nonprofits, communities, NGOs and governments to facilitate conservation. This includes conducting research, awarding grants, and supporting science-based policy and advocacy. Our work is centred on threatened marine species such as sharks and rays, that serve as umbrella species to the wider marine environment.
