Oceans Goals: Achieving Protection for sharks around the wor

Ocean Ramsey's Goal: Shark Conservation Worldwide: A Path to Protection Outlined

My true goal is to educate and inspire enough people to join in the efforts to start taking action for sharks and marine life.  "The greatest threat to the conservation of our natural planet and wildlife is the belief that someone else will save it."  This is a community effort, and the change we truly need to make can be better made with your help. I  hope you will be inspired to take action too. 


Step 1: Raise Awareness 

Collaborate and use social media to educate

Organize events, campaigns, and documentaries highlighting shark importance and threats

Engage with local communities, schools, and governments to promote education and outreach

Step 2: Build a Global Network

Encourage others to join in to help save sharks and marine life

Establish partnerships with international organizations 

Ignite support for the cause with conservation groups, NGOs, companies, and other researchers

Foster cooperation with governments, fisheries, and industries

Step 3: Develop Effective Legislation

Advocate for policy changes and laws protecting sharks and their habitats 

Support the implementation of existing international agreements 

Encourage countries to establish shark protections (ie: Ban #sharkFishing #SharkFinning #SharkCulling #SharkNets) shark sanctuaries, and marine protected areas

Step 4: Implement Conservation Measures

Promote better fishing practices and eco-friendly industries

Develop and deploy shark-friendly technologies (e.g., shark repellents, fishing gear modifications)

Support research and monitoring programs to decrease bycatch and recreational fishing

Step 5: Engage Local Communities and Industries

Support eco-tourism initiatives promoting shark conservation and education. 

Collaborate with fishing communities to develop and implement better practices.

Work with industries to adopt shark-friendly policies and practices

Step 6: Monitor Progress and Adapt

Establish a global system to track shark populations and overlay fishing zones to help establish areas in the most need of conservation efforts

Continuously assess the effectiveness of conservation measures and adapt strategies as needed

Foster international cooperation and knowledge sharing online or in-person training to help others develop sustainable shark-friendly programs, or interaction methods to address emerging challenges and opportunities.

Step 7: Achieve Global Protection

Secure international agreements and commitments to protect sharks and their habitats

Establish a network of marine protected areas and shark sanctuaries worldwide

Ensure the long-term conservation of shark populations and the ecosystems they inhabit and

respect that everything has a purpose and we are a part of nature, not separate from it, and that our position comes with a responsibility that our survival depends upon.
