About
© Rebecca Bateman
ReShark is an international collective of over 90 conservation organizations, aquariums, government agencies and more, dedicated to recover threatened sharks and rays around the world by re-establishing healthy, genetically diverse, and self-sustaining populations.
Restoring sharks to their native ranges will balance ecosystems, as these important predators maintain the food web and serve as indicators for broader ocean health.
