Sign up today to show you support for the Philippines first Shark Sanctuary in Puerto Galera
The local government of Puerto Galera has long supported marine conservation. Most fish and coral species flourish on Puerto Galera's beautiful reefs and their populations continue to grow. However, sharks have been over-fished and now just a handful remain. Without protection these important and beautiful animals will soon disappear
By adding your voice we can help the Local Government in making the decision to declare all of Puerto Galera a Shark Sanctuary

We the undersigned
Would like to thank the Local Government of Puerto Galera for their continued support of marine conservation.
We would like to urge the Puerto Galera Local Government to sign an ordinance creating the first Shark Sanctuary in the Philippines. This will give sharks a fighting chance to grow in numbers and will also create a new tourist attraction in the area
Please
- Stop all catching of sharks in municipal waters
- Support a Shark Conservation Awareness Program to educate tourists and residents of the importance of these beautiful animals to the eco-system
- Ban the sale of shark meat, oil, teeth, fins and jaws throughout the municipality
- Publicise the Shark Sanctuary both nationally and internationally so as to create awareness of Puerto Galera's special role in marine conservation
Thank you for your kind attention. We hope that together we can work together to Give Sharks a Fighting Chance in Puerto Galera
