Environmental Education

Saving Our Sharks Foundation seeks to transform the perception of sharks and raise awareness through environmental education. We implement a multigenerational, cross-sectoral, and interdisciplinary program that addresses key topics such as marine conservation, responsible consumption, heritage stewardship, equity, and citizen participation—contributing to the achievement of multiple sustainable development goals.

Formal Education

As part of its environmental education agenda, Saving Our Sharks Foundation implements programs with elementary, middle, and high schools aimed at informing and fostering the protection of sharks. These initiatives raise awareness about the challenges sharks face globally and emphasize the importance of adopting responsible practices and consumption habits at the individual, household, and community levels.

Social Service and University Conferences

Saving Our Sharks Foundation implements awareness initiatives, social service programs, and tourism training in universities offering degrees in alternative tourism, biology, and related fields. Through these activities, students gain a deeper understanding of the benefits of sustainable tourism, emphasizing experiential learning and the importance of the non-extractive use of natural resources as a key strategy for their conservation.

Social Interventions

National Shark Month

Since 2021, Saving Our Sharks Foundation has organized Shark Month annually. In 2025, it was consolidated as a national event in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment of Quintana Roo, SEMA Quintana Roo , within the framework of International Shark Awareness Day.

This initiative brings together more than 116 partners and is dedicated to shark outreach, awareness, and conservation through workshops, conferences, and talks led by national and international experts.

Training, Workshops, and Conferences

Through collaborative efforts, Saving Our Sharks Foundation organizes and promotes conferences, training sessions, and workshops with researchers and professionals from public institutions—such as the Lifeguard Corps, Civil Protection, and National Commission of Natural Protected Areas, CONANP—as well as private sector, including hotels, diving centers, and the fishing industry.

Congresses and Conventions

We actively participate each year in the organization of the Latin American Congress of Sharks, Chimeras and Rays, led by Mexican Society of Cartilaginous Fishes AC (SOMEPEC), contributing to regional collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the advancement of shark and ray conservation.

Audiovisual Productions and Screenings

In collaboration with government agencies, socially responsible companies, educational institutions, and organizations focused on culture and ecology, Saving Our Sharks Foundation produces informative and educational materials centered on shark conservation. Additionally, we conduct outreach interventions through the screening of documentaries and internationally recognized content related to marine conservation and responsible consumption.

Puppet Theater

We carry out artistic interventions in partnership with local creative groups such as La Bambalina Theater Group. Through performances in theaters, parks, schools, and planetariums, these initiatives deliver awareness messages using creative storytelling. By engaging audiences from an early age, they promote values that support the conservation of sharks, ecosystems, and the common good.
