One of our main goals at Hawaii Shark Encounters is to support and further the cause of shark conservation
The demise of the shark populations is a global issue that needs our immediate attention and action. Support for shark protection is difficult to achieve because of the persistent irrational fear of sharks. A change in attitude, perception, media coverage, and improved conservation legislation and fishing policies are desperately needed.
We have been able to collect signature for petitions and have participated in the campaigns for major policy changes that have resulted in greater protection of sharks in the State of Hawaii and continue to support research on an ongoing basis.
Hawaii Shark Encounters also aims to achieve or exceed all guidelines of conduct and requirements of most Eco tourism societies and has been recognized as an eco tour by many groups and organizations. And as you can see in the section "Customer comments" we have had many elated guests that see our tour as one of the best experiences of their lives.
