About the Campaign 

Shark Stanley is a youth-driven, grassroots shark and ray conservation campaign. We began in 2012 as a small group of students from the Yale School of Forestry, and grew to a coalition of over 50 organizations. We have reached over 10 000 young people in more than 150 countries through our social media campaigns, suite of educational materials and on the ground outreach.
