About Expedition Save the Med
OCEARCH 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.
