South African Shark Conservancy
This is all about SASC. The South African Shark Conservancy is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to protecting sharks. We conduct research on shark biology, behavior, and ecology to better understand their role in the marine ecosystem. Our lab is located in Hermanus with the sharkiest waters on the coast.
Our work also includes collaboration with government agencies and other non-profits to develop effective conservation policies. We believe in educating the public about the importance of sharks and their conservation.
Through our outreach programs, including talks and events, we aim to raise awareness about shark conservation. The Shark Academy is our academic field school that offers courses and internships for marine conservation research.
If you’re interested in studying marine biology or shark research, our Shark Academy is the perfect opportunity. Our hands-on training programs provide practical experience for those passionate about marine conservation.
We’re proud of the work we do to protect sharks in South Africa and beyond. Our efforts are making a difference in the conservation of these vital and misunderstood ocean animals. Join us in our mission to preserve and protect sharks for future generations.
