Aside from not purchasing or consuming shark products and making your friends and family aware of the issue, you can reach out to merchants, restaurants, online distributors, and manufacturers that sell shark products. Ask them to discontinue their product by explaining the importance of healthy shark populations and their rapid global decline.

∇ Shark Watch Program Florida:
Shark Watch offers volunteers an opportunity to actively protect sharks. “Shark Watch is a citizen's initiative established to keep Florida's beachgoers safe and protect sharks by monitoring the actions of shore-based shark fishers and reporting dangerous and illegal activity to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). Taking on the task of overseeing SBSF activities can be overwhelming for an organization such as the FWC who only has around 850 officers in charge of regulating 8,400 miles of coastline, 13,200 square miles of offshore waters, and more than 34 million acres of land. The Shark Watch Program provides FWC law enforcement with much-needed support and encourages local communities to get involved with protecting their beaches, beachgoers, and marine life. Shark Watch volunteers help relieve some of the burdens placed on FWC law enforcement officers. Shark Watch volunteers are the eyes and ears on the ground needed to patrol our beaches and ensure that shore-based shark fishing laws are followed and enforced.”
