International cooperation as Sharkproject's third mission
International Cooperation
Our task as administrative department of Sharkproject International: networking – supporting – informing.
What may sound simple means a lot of work for many active members. But what exactly is International Cooperation? We would like to introduce that to you in more detail here.

First, there is a team of committed people behind it who care deeply about shark and marine conservation.
While the national organizations and ambassadors of Sharkproject focus on the tasks in their countries, Sharkproject International, with its administrative department International Cooperation (IC), takes up international networking and cooperation with other organizations.
As an important pillar of Sharkproject, International Cooperation expands the reach of Sharkproject as a marine conservation organization and supports international campaigns by building coalitions and taking over partner communication with NGOs. IC is always on the lookout for potential new cooperation topics and cultivates trusting partnerships with national and international NGOs.
