Welcome to Fox Shark Research Foundation
Founded by world-renowned shark authorities Rodney and Andrew Fox and shark researcher Dr. Rachel Robbins, the Fox Shark Research Foundation is devoted to the study and conservation of the great white shark.

The great white shark is listed by the IUCN as a vulnerable species. This important apex predator has been relentlessly persecuted in its past and evidence of its declining numbers in recent decades became of great concern. This finally lead to its protection in many of its strongholds around the world. With such protection, it is now hunted less for sport and its jaws are less targetted as trophies, but habitat destruction and human fear hinder the recovery of this still demonized and greatly misunderstood creature.

The Fox Shark Research Foundation is endeavouring to expand our understanding of great white sharks, using the latest technologies and methods of research and working in collaboration with other scientific institutions. We also strive to raise public awareness of the plight of the sharks through our publications and programs.
