Globally, many shark populations and declining. How can you help protect sharks? Start with these two easy steps:

1. Take shark off the menu – do not buy shark in the grocery store or at a restaurant, not only have shark numbers declined significantly over the years, the tissue is often high in mercury. When you see shark being sold, politely ask the company to re-consider selling shark, as it is not a sustainable seafood dish.

 2. Say thank you with your tourism - support nations that have protected sharks and put laws in place to end shark finning and limit commercial fishing (see blog about Palau declaring its waters a shark sanctuary).
