The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (AWSC) is the leading funder of white shark research off the coast of Massachusetts, supporting the science that helps us better understand these remarkable animals and inform public safety strategies.

Through hands on educational experiences at the Shark Center, our Gills Club STEM program for girls, summer programs, public lectures, community outreach, and digital resources, AWSC empowers thousands of youth and adults each year with science based information that fosters awareness, informed decision making, and coexistence with white sharks.

As white shark activity continues to evolve along our coast, research and education have never been more important. Your support helps expand critical scientific research, strengthen public safety initiatives, and inspire the next generation of shark and ocean stewards, while building a future where people and white sharks thrive together.
