Shark Alliance

The Shark Alliance is a global, not-for-profit coalition of non-governmental organizations dedicated to restoring and conserving shark populations by improving shark conservation policies.

• Shark fishing limits in line with scientific advice and the precautionary approach, including stronger policies to prevent shark finning;
  
• Safeguards and conservation guidance for sharks through the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES); 
  
• A United Nations Resolution that includes ambitious timelines for implementation of the International Plan of Action for Sharks and lays out consequences for inaction.
