Our Vision: By 2035, we have built diverse partnerships to deliver effective action for the conservation and recovery of sharks and rays.
The SAFE Shark and Ray program goal is to enable evidence-based support for conservation action, engage action among key public and stakeholder groups, support science-based shark conservation communication, and create opportunities for direct, impactful, and collaborative support for the conservation and recovery of this taxa.
This SAFE plan is the third plan for Shark and Ray and operates under the International Conservation of Nature (IUCN) One Plan Approach, this program plan integrates both ex situ and in situ conservation. The plan coordinates and maximizes the collective expertise and opportunities of zoo and aquarium professionals working with sharks and rays in human care, and conducts in situ research and conservation action for the recovery of sharks and rays in the wild.
