Shark Angels around Canada and the world are working hard on legislation to ban shark fin. However, opponents are claiming that banning the shark fin only is a sign of racism,  as we are focusing on a ban of only the fins and not the rest of the shark. Many wonder why not ban all shark products? And others wonder if we are truly focusing on condemning a culture? On the contrary - Shark Angels believe shark finning is a world issue with world ramifications. And, quite simply, we are focusing our targeted efforts on the biggest threat facing sharks.

Layang Layang is one of the best dive locations to witness hammerheads and other sharks and it is because of this that the Shark Angels and World Wide Dive and Sail are teaming up together to head out there on a journey of scientific discovery and conservation work - in one of the only areas in the world where shark fishing has been banned. What's even better than this is that you can join them!

Shark Angels has long been active in the surfing community. In fact, we premiered our first short film at the Wavescapes festival in Cape Town four years ago. We also took several famous and seriously influential surfers diving with sharks. We’ve been working with surfers ever since – we believe they are great advocates for the cause particularly once their perspectives have changed, thanks to encounters with our finned friends. We even have our own line of surfboards. Of course, Shark Angel OJ (a champion surfer herself) is a great believer and works hard within this community.
