Shark Alliance
The Shark Alliance is a global, no-profit coalition of non-governmental organizations dedicated to restoring and conserving shark populations by improving shark conservation policies. The Shark Alliance is focused on securing the following items:
- Shark fishing limits in line with scientific advice and the precautionary approach, include 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.
These actions, like so many other documents, including those produced by the Lenfest Ocean Program or published by Oceana, etc. are freely downloadable from the website. (www.sharkalliance.org)
