Shark Trust
The Shark Trust is a charitable organization founded in the UK in 1997, and is dedicated to promoting the study, management and conservation of sharks, skates and rays (elasmobranchs) in the UK and internationally.[1]
The Trust operates scientific research and education programmes, and works with divers, politicians, boat owners, and commercial and recreational fishers as well as the general public. It has produced codes of conduct for approaching Basking Sharks[2] and Whale Sharks[3] safely and responsibly. It also campaigns for legislative protection of vulnerable shark species and for tighter legislation restricting shark finning.[4]
The Shark Trust holds events to raise awareness about shark conservation throughout the year, including eggcase hunts at which participants search the coastline for shark eggcases.[5]
