Our Story
In April 2002, photographer Rob Stewart embarked on a mission to save sharks, leading to the creation of the groundbreaking film Sharkwater. This journey spanned five years and twelve countries, facing challenges like attempted murder charges and corrupt governments. The film ignited a global movement, inspiring countless individuals to advocate for shark conservation and establish numerous NGOs. Tragically, Rob Stewart passed away on January 31, 2017, but his legacy lives on through millions of supporters dedicated to his mission.
