"Based in Berkeley and founded in 2006, Shark Stewards works to protect sharks and their habitats globally, including in the San Francisco Bay, home to plenty of shark species, including the leopard shark, soupfin shark and even the occasional great white shark. More than 800 people showed up at the No Kings rally organized by Shark Stewards, said director David McGuire, with more than a few dressed as sharks or other marine creatures."
"Dressed like Jaws and wearing stickers with shark symbols, people with the nonprofit Shark Stewards came out in opposition to an executive order allowing commercial fishing in areas now protected as marine national monuments. If it happens, some species of sharks will disappear within the next five years, said Karina Nikulina, a Shark Stewards board member. I'm not very political, but I am pro-nature. And it doesn't make any sense to me, what he's doing."
Shark Stewards organized a large No Kings rally opposing an executive order that would allow commercial fishing in areas currently protected as marine national monuments. Leaders warned that allowing commercial fishing could cause some shark species to disappear within five years. More than 800 people attended the rally, many dressed as sharks or other marine creatures. Based in Berkeley and founded in 2006, Shark Stewards protects sharks and habitats globally and in San Francisco Bay, home to leopard, soupfin and occasional great white sharks. The nonprofit, connected to Earth Island Institute, fights overfishing and shark finning, promotes marine protected areas, and supports the 30-by-30 ocean conservation goal.
