Over a third of all species of sharks and rays could disappear in our lifetimes. But together we have a chance to create change.

This November, governments from around the world will meet at a major wildlife conference called CITES (The Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species). CITES is an international agreement that helps protect animals threatened by unsustainable trade, such as sharks and rays, by limiting their sale between countries.

We are calling on national representatives to vote in favour of all shark and ray proposals put forward at the upcoming CITES meeting in Uzbekistan. We are supporting the PADI AWARE Foundation at the international policy table by adding our voice so they can successfully advocate to protect ocean life.






By signing, I am agreeing to allow PADI AWARE Foundation to add my name to letters in communications that support stronger protections for sharks and rays at CITES 2025
