Sponsor A Shark

Sponsor a Guadalupe Island Great White shark

MCSI’s Guadalupe Island photo-ID project has been monitoring the white sharks of Guadalupe Island since 2001. Not only does this project allows us to track the visitation patterns of individual sharks but also allows us to monitor the overall status of the population. This long time series of data allows us to examine whether the population is increasing, decreasing or stable and is a key component in the conservation and management of northeastern Pacific white sharks.

How to Sponsor a Shark:

To sponsor a shark please fill out the following form with the name of the shark you would like to sponsor, the name of the person you would like the sponsorship certificate addressed to, and the address you would like the package mailed to. If you prefer to have the sponsorship package sent electronically instead of sent by mail, please include an email address to send the sponsorship certificate and photo to and leave the mailing address blank. You can choose any of the Guadalupe Island white sharks in the MCSI Guadalupe Island white shark photo-ID book. Some of the most popular sharks are shown below, and the entire list of named sharks is listed below that. If you would like to sponsor a shark that was satellite tagged and has tracking data, a few of the Guadalupe Island sharks with tracking data include Bruce, Biteface, Annika, Kimmel and Gill Rakers. You can also sponsor southern California sharks that are tagged and tracked, to see which sharks are currently providing real time tracking data, check out the app Expedition White Shark. If you would like to name a shark in the Guadalupe Island white shark photo-ID database, select executive level and the name you would like to use and we will send you photos of sharks that have not been named so that you can select your shark. If you have any questions about sponsoring a shark, please contact [email protected]
