Shark Allies is a non-traditional organization with a small board of directors. We pride ourselves on being small but mighty, keeping our overhead and bureaucracy to a minimum, and activating when there is a need. We are mostly volunteer-driven; our maximum paid staff has been two during the intense periods of campaigns.

As a small non-profit, it’s necessary to narrow your focus. Too broad an objective, and nothing gets done. That is why we focus on advocacy and activism. Other organizations excel in research or content creation, in science communication or media campaigns. We collaborate so each can do what they do best.
