Briefings

University of Sydney research indicates that participation in shark ecotourism significantly increases individuals' likelihood of engaging in conservation actions such as donations, petition signing, and online advocacy. This study, published in October 2026, highlights a potential mechanism where recreational exposure to sharks fosters pro-conservation attitudes among participants.

Key points

• Participants in shark ecotourism tours are more likely to donate to shark conservation causes, sign petitions, or speak publicly in support of shark protection.

Context and limitations

The study is limited to participants who joined shark ecotourism tours; results may not generalize to all shark conservation supporters or those who do not engage in such activities.
