SHARK TRUST

Established in July 1997, the Shark Trust works to advance the worldwide conservation of sharks through science, education, influence and action. The Trust is a member of the European Elasmobranch Association and supports its work. The Shark Trust and other EEA member organisations seek to co-ordinate their efforts to influence and reverse the factors which are threatening the status of shark populations and fisheries, and to promote and carry out research. Individuals are invited to support the work of the EEA by sending their subscriptions or donations to the Shark Trust. Subscribers will receive regular copies of the Shark Focus magazine packed full with articles, news and reviews, and competitions, plus frequent project updates from the Trust's e-newsletters.
