May 2010 marks the beginning for Shark Advocates International, a new, non-profit initiative dedicated to conserving some of the ocean's most vulnerable, valuable, and neglected animals - the sharks. 

With the benefit of nearly two decades of achievement on the front lines of shark fishing and trade debates, SAI will provide leadership in advancing science-based national and international shark conservation policies, and serve as a reliable source for related information. 

SAI will use every available resource to be nimble and effective in the toughest policy arenas, defending existing safeguards and promoting the next most significant and urgently needed advances in shark conservation. 

SAI puts a premium on accuracy and perseverance, and welcomes opportunities to collaborate with other interest groups, scientists, and governments. We are really excited about this endeavor and would welcome your support!
