In 2025, OCEARCH continued to push shark science forward through research, collaboration, and education—transforming data collected from sharks into real-world conservation impact. From advancing scientific understanding to expanding access, inclusion, and education, these success stories highlight how every field research trip, partnership, and supporter plays a role in protecting sharks and returning our world’s oceans to balance and abundance.
Below, explore the success stories that capture the milestones and purpose behind OCEARCH’s work in 2025.
Advancing Shark Science
OCEARCH’s mission is a commitment to advancing shark science through collaborative hands-on field research. In 2025, tagging, sampling, and long-term tracking efforts continued to generate critical data on shark movement, behavior, and habitat use—specifically within the western North Atlantic white shark population.
Inclusion & Collaboration
Progress in science doesn’t happen in isolation. OCEARCH’s work is built on collaboration—bringing together researchers, institutions, educators, and partners from around the world.
Advancing Science
Beyond individual discoveries, OCEARCH is focused on building a long-term scientific foundation. In 2025, research contributions supported peer-reviewed studies, strengthened datasets, and helped translate field observations into science that informs policy and conservation strategies.
Donors & Education
None of this work would be possible without the support of donors and the power of education. From classrooms to communities, OCEARCH continues to connect people of all ages to shark science—fostering curiosity, understanding, and stewardship.
Moving Forward Together
Each of these success stories represents more than a moment—they reflect ongoing progress fueled by research, collaboration, and shared commitment to ocean conservation. As OCEARCH looks ahead, the work continues both on the water and beyond, guided by science and supported by a global community dedicated to protecting sharks and the ocean ecosystems they help balance.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
