GET INVOLVED

Love sharks and their relatives? Love science communication? Join us!

BECOME PART OF THE TEAM

Picture

​Are you a fin-lover?
Do you like giving presentations to groups?
You could be a perfect fit for our team!

We are looking for representatives worldwide - and you don't have to have a background in marine biology, just a passion for sharks and their relatives - to volunteer their time and go to classrooms, clubs, events, etc and give a #SharkTalk!

ANYONE CAN BE A TFUI OFFICER OR REPRESENTATIVE.
​Don't be shy - we don't bite!

​Interested? Contact us.


GET YOUR SCHOOL OR GROUP INVOLVED

Picture

​Take the "Fin Pledge." 
​
We provide the resources (for free). You provide the passion and help.
Together, we'll bring awareness and love to these animals. Your group can make an enormous impact!

SPREAD THE WORD

Picture
Would you like to support TFUI'S special events or help spread the word about sharks, skates, rays and chimaeras? There are many ways that you can contribute and participate. Here are some ideas:

  • Ask a teacher to dedicate a week to discuss these animals and the issues they face in the classroom.
  • Host a "Shark Frenzy" (aka party) - screen an ocean themed film with fin-tastic favors (check out our Pinterest board for ideas). 
  • Organize a discussion at your home or community centre on the issues that face these animals. Contact TFUI to ask for ideas, and maybe a speaker!
  • Is TFUI holding a special event near you? Join us!

JOIN THE LITTLE FIN FIGHTERS

Picture
The Fins United Initiative has teamed up with Keep Fin Alive to empower young environmentalists to get involved in science education. The Little Fin Fighters lets younger students take a bite out of science communication by giving them the materials to present a #SharkTalk all by themselves.

The Little Fin Fighters has a special focus on easy ways to reduce plastic pollution (something that everyone can do to help the oceans and sharks). Contact TFUI for more information.
