Adopt a Shark

Support cutting edge shark research.

Adopt a shark, give it a nickname, and receive updates each time it's spotted! Funds raised by shark adoptions are used to offset the costs of maintaining this database and to support new and existing research projects for the world's most mysterious fish. You'll be redirected to our shop for payment and then brought back here to complete your adoption.

Join the Family!
