What is Landsharks For Shark Week?
Landsharks for Shark Week is a Charity and Fundraiser for Ocean Conservation and Shark Research!
Are you passionate about the ocean and fascinated by sharks? Do you eagerly await Shark Week every year? If so, we have an incredible event you need to know about.
What started as a small college watch party has evolved into an extraordinary gathering beyond our wildest dreams. Throughout the years, as word spread about our mission and the event grew, the "Shark Elders" seized the opportunity to transform our humble Shark Week celebration into a fundraiser for Ocean Conservation and Shark Research. We're even proud to have "adopted" three Sharks: Finny, Finora, and Rita Ville from Bimini Shark Lab, tracking their growth and location through her PIT and SAT tags!

Our event has grown exponentially, now spanning the entirety of Shark Week thanks to our loyal finbassadors who help us celebrate at Shark HQ and from distant shores. From tradition-rich opening ceremonies and reviewing our ancient fourteen-year-old Shark Week Rules List with a week packed with fintastic programming, epic great white breaches, and of course, ice-cold Landshark Lagers. This week-long event is live-streamed on Instagram and TikTok for anyone to participate, even from distant shores!
The success of our fundraiser has been remarkable. In just the past three years, we've collectively raised over $7,000 for our cause for shark research and ocean conservation. Thanks to our partnership with Shaka Kai, our small operation has continued to reach greater heights year after year. We are excited to continue our mission of raising funds for these incredible creatures during Shark Week. Please consider donating to our fund, as all proceeds will go directly to Bimini Shark Lab, supporting their research, education of future scientists at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and the advancement of conservation and awareness efforts for these remarkable creatures.
From Shark Week Shores to Beyond the Reef
This blog is intended to keep you in the know and extend our reach way beyond just one week. These creatures are often misunderstood, and the research that is being completed is nothing but groundbreaking and breathtaking. Come on an adventure with us, dock your boat on our shores, and keep checking in on Shark HQ!
