SARAH & SEBASTIAN: Save Our Sharks & Rays


Sharks and rays desperately need our protection.

Sharks are one of the world’s most ancient creatures, existing for around 450 million years, well before the first tree ever sprouted. They have survived through all the Earth’s five mass extinction events… but may not survive us.

Many Australian shark and ray populations continue to decline, with 1 in 8 species threatened with extinction in Australian waters.

For many years, SARAH & SEBASTIAN have proudly supported AMCS in their mission to protect our fragile marine species and the ecosystems they call home.

SARAH & SEBASTIAN hope this film has inspired you to support AMCS and their vital work to save our sharks and rays.

Can you chip in today to support vital conservation work?

All donations over $2 are 100% tax-deductible. Our important campaigns are not funded by Government grants, we are totally reliant on generous people like you to protect Australia’s oceans and the animals that call them home.

 

Sharks are essential to the health of our marine ecosystems. Small changes in the balance at the top of the food chain wreak monumental changes at the bottom of it. They keep all the creatures they encounter in balance.

Why back AMCS?

There are over 1,200 shark and ray species in the world and Australia’s waters are home to one quarter of them. As Australians, we are responsible for protecting these precious species.

We’ve worked for decades to champion the plight of these diverse and wonderful sea creatures. Together, we’ve secured a national ban on live-shark finning, reduced the shark catch in our precious Great Barrier Reef, and stopped the shark cull in Western Australia.

Our Save Our Sharks campaign is currently focused on:

  • Stopping our scalloped hammerheads and other endangered sharks from being fished in our World Heritage Great Barrier Reef.
  • Protecting and helping one of the world’s most endangered fish, the sawfish, recover in number across northern Australia.
  • Ensuring Australia’s threatened shark and ray species are protected under Australian law, including our most threatened and unique Australian species.
  • Saving the uniquely Australian, Maugean skate – a ray found only in a small pocket of water in Tasmania and on the brink of extinction.
  • Working to end shark culling around Australia

AMCS is Australia’s only national charity dedicated solely to protecting our precious ocean wildlife. We have a long history of fighting for our oceans, and we won’t let these marine animals become extinct on our watch.
