About Expedition Save the MedOCEARCH is
traveling over 4,000 miles to explore European waters and study the
Mediterranean white shark population. White sharks are classified
as critically endangered in the Mediterranean Sea and this region
is in desperate need of conservation measures to reduce the effects
of overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction that threaten
its future. Our large apex predators create balance and abundance
in marine ecosystems; if we can save our sharks in the
Mediterranean, we can save the Mediterranean. Learn more about
Expedition Save the Med.
