Gulf Great White Shark Society
A new grassroots community has launched along the Gulf Coast to build awareness and spark conversation about the region’s most mysterious and misunderstood ocean predator: the great white shark. The Gulf Great White Shark Society brings together shark lovers to shine a light on these apex predators through media outreach, public events, and youth mentorship.
The Gulf Great White Shark Society is now officially live!
Founded by award-winning wildlife journalist and Texas Fish & Game Editor-In-Chief Chester Moore is a public awareness movement powered by passion and purpose.
“This is about highlighting the return of great white sharks in the Gulf and connecting people, especially young people, to the importance of them and other large sharks to the Gulf’s ecosystem,” Moore said.
“Through media, youth mentorship, and community events, we want to inspire awe and respect for these animals.”
