We took flight in a big way in 2011! Globally connected, Shark Angels around the world took action locally this year, fueled by empowering tools, a collaborative community, and a shared passion. Through positive education, media and grassroots outreach, Shark Angels changed the future for sharks. And 2012 promises to be even more exciting – with your continued support. Up until now, we have self-funded all our efforts. We've proven we can do a lot with a little, but now we need your help.  Please donate today!

2012 will see an increased focus from the Shark Angels on children... after all, it is their future in our hands. We are thrilled to be working with several amazing angels and heros on our important Shark Cherub initiative, empowering a new generation of conservationists.

In an effort to effectively challenge the current mindset of so many in the general public in regards to sharks, Shark Angel Amanda Cotton has begun an exciting new media series titled "Children and Sharks". Shark Angels are so thrilled to share this amazing content and hope to inspire a new generaion of Shark Cherubs around the world! The first in the series, a seven year old Cherub meets hundreds of whale sharks - and will never be the same! See more of the great photos and video.

CANADA MAKES GIANT STRIDES TOWARDS PROTECTING SHARKS WORLDWIDE: Today in the House of Commons, MP Fin Donnelly, NDP Fisheries and Oceans critic, announced the introduction of Bill C380 which would ban the import of shark fin into Canada. This landmark legislation will make Canada the largest country in the world to ban the import of shark fins and aims to inspire other countries to follow suit to address plummeting shark populations worldwide. 

“It's time for the federal government to listen to their municipal counterparts and take action,” said Donnelly. “They can demonstrate real leadership on this global issue and institute an import ban of shark fins to Canada.”
