The goals of the AWARE Shark Conservation are to inform divers of the value of sharks to marine ecosystems and economies, to educate them about the causes of declining shark populations, to build an understanding of what is missing in current shark fisheries management, to dispel misperceptions that may block them from taking action, and to inspire them to help sharks by taking action. The aim of AWARE Shark Conservation Diver course is to turn
divers into informed and passionate shark defenders who take action to protect sharks.
