We are an International Non-Profit Organisation committed to stopping the unacceptable practice of shark finning throughout Asia, educating and promoting shark conservation and the well being of the marine environment on which we all depend.MissionWe are committed to stopping the unacceptable practice of shark finning throughout Asia, educating and promoting shark conservation and the well being of the marine environment on which we all depend.Company OverviewWhat We Hope To Achieve:• Initiate the scientific monitoring and reporting of Asian shark species in line with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red list process.• Liaise with international and local government bodies for the introduction or amendment of regulations and law to protect shark species and promote marine diversity as a result.• Liaise with recognized organizations (Coral Triangle Initiative/Project Aware/WWF) to promote and enhance existing projects.• Identify and actively campaign for further MPAs.• Organize via dive organizations and centers the introduction of shark monitoring and reporting schemes, collating and validating periodically the information for submission to the IUCN. This will also include the issue of an Asian Shark Conservation shark identifier and record slate for use in the monitoring process.• Initiate a database and administration system that allows for a fully audit-able process, in support of research data and general organization administration. Most importantly this process will enable the immediate reporting to authorities and media where breaches of international and local law occur; or where MPAs have been ignored. We look forward to receiving your support in whatever context; by "Liking" us on Facebook, spreading the word, but ideally by getting involved and so help in making it happen! Thank you.
