Shark Stewards also works in international trade under the Unite Nation at CITES, and in regional fisheries. In 2026 our efforts catalyzed emergency regulations in California to protect sharks and the public from fishing on public piers and beaches.
Beginning in 2009, we created these Sharktober outreach events to celebrate the return of the white sharks to our national marine sanctuary. Our events educate the public and in schools on the importance of sharks and marine protection on why they deserve protection.
