European Shark Week 2008 | europe.oceana.org

Protect Our Sharks

The second, annual European Shark Week will take place 11-19 October, 2008. It’s a unique opportunity for people across Europe to demonstrate their support for shark conservation in a way that can really effect change. We welcome your participation.

During European Shark Week 2007, aquariums, dive clubs and other organisations helped host more than 100 events and together we collected more than 20,000 signatures. This year is truly pivotal for European shark policy,so we’re committed to making European Shark Week ‘08 as big and bad as it can be!

Your Chance Is Now!

Help raise the profile of sharks by joining members of the Shark Alliance in celebration of European Shark Week. This year, we’ll take our message directly to governments and demand a strong European shark plan. Our pleas will come in the final, critical months of development of this long-waited plan, so they stand a real chance of influencing the process for the good!
