 Adopt a Shark is an initiative designed to help save the critically endangered Grey Nurse Shark from extinction.
When you Adopt a Shark you will receive:
• Adoption Certificate
• Grey Nurse Shark CD containing fun puzzles, fact sheets and some great Grey Nurse Shark images
• Quarterly email updates on Grey Nurse Sharks with information articles, research updates, sighting reports and other relevant marine conservation information
• A Grey Nurse Shark poster and Adopt a Shark tattoos.
Adopt a Shark costs $75 per year, $140 for two years or $200 for three years. All funds received from Adopt a Shark will be dedicated to our Grey Nurse Shark conservation program. NCC will also make a $5 contribution to Grey Nurse Shark research for each Adopt a Shark sponsorship.

 Spot a Shark utlizes a computer based software program to identify individual sharks. Each grey nurse shark has a series of pigmentation spots on either side of their body. These markings are unique to each shark (just as human fingerprints are unique to each one of us). The program asks members of the dive community to send in their photos of GNS to help catalogue the population along the east coast. These photos (if suitable) will then assist marine biologists to learn more about these endangered creatures.
Visit the Spot a Shark website to send your photos. |
