A New Shark Stanley is Coming

We have exciting news!  We are a few short months from launching a new Shark Stanley book with a new campaign.  There will be a new story with new adventures, as well as more than a dozen new characters.

We are grateful to the dozens of partners and thousands of supporters who helped us protect sharks at CITES last year, but the time has come to archive the old campaign to make way for the new.  Pasted below is our post-CITES campaign landing page for SharkStanley.com, and it will soon be replace with the new materials.  We want to recognize our partners in perpetuity, so those links will live on here.

Thank you again for your untiring support.
