Our 2026 field season is just weeks away, and we couldn’t be more excited to get back on the water and continue our work providing the best available data on our local white shark population.
You can help support our mission by making a donation today. A generous supporter of our research has established a $20,000 matching pool, meaning your contribution can go twice as far toward supporting our research and fieldwork.
Help us meet the match and get our 2026 field season off to a strong start!

Many companies choose to support their people by matching their donations to the same organizations (doubling the impact on white shark research!) Please inquire with your HR department to verify your employer has partnered with Benevity.
Donations to the California White Shark Project 501 (c)(3) are tax deductible.
“30 years ago I drafted the California law that first protected white sharks, but I know the job of understanding and protecting them isn’t done.
That’s why I support this great project.”
