NOTES: This list will never carry links to people or organizations that exploit sharks. This includes those who fish for and kill endangered species, those who sell shark products (such as cartilage) obtained by indiscriminate netting, and those who sell teeth or jaws from caught specimens. There are many such organizations on the Web. If you care for sharks, do not patronize them.

This links list page is managed by Wade G. Pemberton for Fiona Webster, the site owner. It is always growing and changing. It was last updated July 19, 2004. If you know of a shark link that's not here, or if one of these links doesn't work, please let me know.
