This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.

The Shark Trust is a charitable organization founded in the United Kingdom in 1997. It is dedicated to promoting the study, management and conservation of sharks, skates and rays (elasmobranchs) in the UK and internationally.[1]
TheTrust works on various projects. With a specific focus on collaborating and working with fishers, fisheries management organisations, scientists, conservationists and other third-sector organisations. The Trust has produced codes of conduct for approaching basking sharks[2] and whale sharks[3] safely and responsibly. It also campaigns for legislative protection of vulnerable shark species and for tighter legislation restricting shark finning.[4]
The Shark Trust holds outreach and engagement events for the public. One of the biggest projects is The Great Eggcase Hunt. This project empowers the public to find shark, skate and ray eggcases on their beach and log them. The data is used to monitor species distribution.[5]
