위협 & 우리의 역할

최고의 포식 동물인, 상어는 건강한 해양 생태계를 관리하는 데 도움을 주지만, 그 상어들은 멸종 위기에 직면한 약 300 종과 함께 우리의 바다에서 가장 멸종 위기에 처한 종들 중에 보호 되지 않은 종의 일부로 남아 있습니다.

상어와 가오리 관광은 많은 국가들의 경제의 필수적인 구성 요소로, 다이빙 커뮤니티에 보존을 주도하고 영향을 미칠 수있는 중요한 기회를 제공합니다. 남획과 서식지 손실로 인한 주요 위협으로 다이버들은 시민 과학과 지지를 통해 상어와 가오리 감소에 대처하기 위한 글로벌 노력을 주도할 수 있습니다.

Help save sharks by supporting the
Global Shark & Ray Census

To combat this ocean emergency, PADI AWARE is proud to introduce the Global Shark & Ray Census, a global citizen science program that aims to monitor shark and ray populations and to ensure they are protected from extinction. Both divers and non-divers will be able to collect sightings data on the species they encounter, or take part in monitoring sites to track population trends. The data will undergo rigorous scientific analysis and will be used to ensure vulnerable species of sharks and rays have adequate protection to ensure healthy populations.

Coming in 2024

Global Shark & Ray Census

Sharks are a major reason divers dive. The ability to observe sharks in their natural environment provides an exclusive position to monitor their populations. In 2024, PADI AWARE will launch the Global Shark & Ray Census, a global citizen science program that will enable divers to record shark & ray sightings to help develop suitable conservation measures and help protect them from extinction.

AWARE Shark Conservation Specialty

This Conservation Specialty provides tailored content for divers to understand more about the importance of a healthy shark & ray populations, the threats to these vulnerable species, as well as learning about practical ways to participate in shark conservation.

Dive with Responsible Operators

With over 6,000 PADI Dive Centers and Resorts in 183 countries around the world, it’s not hard to find a reputable shark experience that adheres to proper shark diving practices. To encourage healthy shark interactions, PADI AWARE created Responsible Shark & Ray Tourism: A Guide to Best Practice to provide dive operators guidelines and information on sharks based on the latest scientific research.

Increased Protection Measures for Over 100 Species

Protecting sharks and rays is at the heart of PADI Aware Foundation's history and community. To date, we have collectively helped secure protection measures for over 100 vulnerable species ranging through policy changes such as agreed fishing limits to restrictions in unsustainable trade. PADI AWARE will continue to provide tangible actions to protect hundreds more with your help.

PADI Blueprint for Ocean Action:
Protect Vulnerable Species

PADI AWARE, with the support of the dive community, are in a unique position to drive forward essential conservation measures to help prevent shark and ray extinctions. Through our Blueprint for Ocean Action we can minimize population declines through restrictions on unregulated fishing, effective marine protected areas and monitoring the health of local shark and ray populations.

Blueprint Conservation Target and Strategy

Target: Reduce the number of species of sharks and rays threatened with extinction by 25% by 2030.
(1) Collaborate with locally based PADI operators and Ocean Torchbearers to protect native shark and ray populations.
(2) Launch the Global Shark & Ray Census to collect information on the populations of sharks and rays encountered by divers.

PADI Divers Come Together to Reach Landmark Win at CITES

Together with you - the amazing and passionate dive community - we have already helped to add 51 species of shark and ray to CITES, including the oceanic whitetip shark, smooth hammerhead shark and giant manta ray.

Brazil and South Africa Mako Campaign

“Mako sharks are particularly vulnerable to overfishing, especially in the North Atlantic, where we have seen populations decline severely. It is currently estimated that the shark population will take 50 years to fully recover if fishing bans were implemented today,” says Ian Campbell, Associate Director, Policy and Campaigns of PADI AWARE Foundation. “By working directly with PADI Members to raise awareness of the issue with the diving community, we aim to encourage governmental support of mako shark protections in the Atlantic.”
