The Extinction Of Sharks (2025)

A book detailing the untold story about the demise of one of our greatest and most important animals. Filled with beautiful photography from Canadian award-winning filmmaker and wildlife photographer, Rob Stewart, "The Extinction Of Sharks" and the true story about why sharks are getting killed and what you can do to stop it. 

Sharkwater (2006)

Arguing that sharks are misunderstood as dangerous creatures, biologist Rob Stewart travels to the Galapagos Islands, Costa Rica and other places where the animals can be found. Underwater, he feeds sharks to demonstrate their fundamentally nonviolent nature. With 90 percent of the shark population destroyed by indiscriminate hunting, Stewart joins forces with conservationist Paul Watson to fight poachers who illegally kill the animals for their fins and sell the meat to the Taiwanese Mafia.

Revolution (2012)

Revolution is a feature documentary about opening your eyes, changing the world and fighting for something. A true life adventure following director Rob Stewart in the follow up to his smash hit Sharkwater, Revolution is an epic adventure into the evolution of life on earth and the revolution to save us.


Discovering that there’s more in jeopardy than sharks, Stewart uncovers a grave secret threatening our own survival as a species, and embarks on a life-threatening adventure through 4 years and 15 countries into the greatest battle ever waged.


Bringing you some of the most incredible wildlife spectacles ever recorded, audiences are brought face to face with sharks and cuddly lemurs, into the microscopic world of the pygmy seahorse, and on the hunt with the deadly flamboyant cuttlefish. From the coral reefs in Papua New Guinea to the rainforests in Madagascar, Stewart reveals that all of our actions are interconnected.


Through it all, Stewart’s journey of encouragement and hope meets activists and individuals all over the world that are winning the battle to save the ecosystems we depend on for survival.


Presenting the most important information on human survival and inspiring people all over the world to fight for life, Revolution is essential viewing for everyone. Startling, beautiful, and provocative, Revolution inspires audiences across the globe to start a revolution and change the world forever.


Revolution premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and has already gone on to win numerous awards, including the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Atlantic Film Festival, Most Popular Environmental Film Award at the Vancouver International Film Festival, the Audience Award at the Victoria Film Festival and the Social Justice Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Sharkwater: Extinction (2018)

Sharkwater: Extinction (2018) is a thrilling and inspiring action packed journey that follows filmmaker Rob Stewart as he exposes the massive illegal shark fin industry and the political corruption behind it — a conspiracy that is leading to the extinction of sharks.


From West Africa, Spain, Panama, Costa Rica, France, and even in our own backyard, Stewart’s third film dives into the often violent underworld of the pirate fishing trade to expose a multi-billion dollar industry.


Shark finning is still rampant, shark fin soup is still being consumed on an enormous scale, and endangered sharks are now also being used to make products for human consumption.  Stewart’s mission is to save the sharks and oceans before it’s too late.


But exposing illegal activities isn’t easy; protecting sharks has earned him some powerful enemies.

What We Do

Empowering Organizations

Through donations, we support shark and marine conservation organizations financially. When you donate to us, some or all of the money goes to organizations such as Shark Alliance, a European-based shark conservation group and The Rob Stewart Sharkwater Foundation, a foundation fighting in Rob Stewart’s memory  to  solve issues like the illegal fin trade and climate change.

Spreading Awareness

Most of the damage caused to sharks and the ocean can be traced back to carelessness and unawareness.  To combat this, we try to raise as much awareness as possible. From posters and signs to campaigns and protests, we are fighting to get everyone to understand the full picture of climate change and what they can do to help.

Educating the Next Generation

At SOS Shark Conservation, we try to teach and educate children all across Canada in many ways. Many people at SOS are very creative, and we are creating books and movies that spread awareness about what we’re doing to our oceans and donate parts of the profit from them to help fund our efforts. To  educate people from coast to coast, we have talks at schools and minor government buildings, spread awareness about issue in our oceans, and interact with many to talk one-on-one about the issues our planet is facing.
