The sharks offered for adoption are resident to Fiji and visit the Shark Reef Marine Reserve (SRMR) on a consistent basis. Shark Reef is Fiji's First National Marine Park and Shark Sanctuary. There are over 200 individually named sharks catalogued in the scientific database of the SRMR from its' inception in 2003. From the population of visiting sharks, through this special program we are offering a carefully curated selection of individuals for adoption.
When you 'adopt' a shark, you adopt an individual: one with a name, a personality and a life history. Each individual is personally known by the research and dive staff who spend 5 days a week, every week diving and interacting with them.
