South African Shark Conservancy (SASC) is a not-for-profit organization that focuses on the study of sharks and coastal ocean ecosystems in South Africa. Committed to the conservation of sharks and oceans, SASC works in collaboration with government, industry, academia, and eNGO sectors to develop sustainable management approaches. By conducting research and providing long-term species-specific datasets, SASC aims to support national and regional management of sharks and their relatives.

The organization also offers exceptional field-based training opportunities for early career scientists and conservationists through their Shark Academy. The Shark Lab, which serves as the central hub for SASC's work, houses experimental tanks, an education center, and administrative offices. With decades of cumulative experience in shark research and marine conservation, the passionate team at SASC strives to deliver field and science-based training and implement large-scale data-driven projects that contribute to international and regional conservation efforts
