The goal behind SharkCon is to raise awareness for ocean conservation by bringing in the general public and ocean enthusiast together to inspire a love of the ocean with general public through interactions with experts and exhibits and enthusiasts. For enthusiast, it will be an annual experience where they can celebrate their love of the ocean in a fun environment and a chance for them to hear their hero’s speak. We want both groups to then go forth and make a positive change for the health of our oceans. Through this we hope to raise money for the conservation efforts of our partners. We know this two pronged approach can ensure the health of the oceans for generations for those of us who love and want to protect them.


Past Speakers include: Sylvia Earle, Robert Hueter, Mark Simmons, Jose Castro, Julie Andersen, Sean and Brooks Paxton (Shark Brothers), Derek Burkholder, Annette Robertson, Mick Foley, Stuart Cove, Joseph Dituri, and more.
