Save the Sharks

Guide to Shark Conservation

Did you know that over 100 million sharks are killed by humans every year?  Every year.  In fact, 77% of oceanic sharks are now threatened with extinction.  After launching The Spicy Shark and meeting so many wonderful shark conservationists, Gabe learned a lot about how to help sharks in their natural habitat. ⁣He put together a quick action list on how everyone can help save sharks. On this list is everything from which products you can avoid that contain shark and contribute to shark finning, to a list of amazing shark documentaries, and much more. Check it out here.

 

Our Friends in Shark Conservation

Here at The Spicy Shark, we value our real sharks and marine life. Our mission is to help the Save the Sharks movement and leave the ocean a better place than we found it with a little help from our friends.
