Working together to preserve this magnificent animal

Members are encouraged to post comments, report issues concerning Great White’s, conservation, images and personal experiences in an effort to share and pool our knowledge to preserve this magnificent apex predator in its rightful domain.

EDUCATE. CONSERVE. PROTECT.

The White Shark Interest Group is about shark conservation and protection, especially the Great White Shark. Our purpose is to be able to reach as many people as possible with factual information thereby increasing the knowledge base and understanding that will lead to greater protection and conservation for all shark species.

Together with an amazing and dedicated members and admins we have been able reach an ever increasing number of people that can speak for sharks and why we need them and why we need to protect them.

The Great White Shark is iconic, its much maligned image is far from reality, and we hope that everybody we can reach will help to continue to dispel this misrepresentation of an truly magnificent ocean predator that has little interest in us.
