SOS: Support Our SHOAL
Led by the aquarium hobby and established with OATA and Practical Fishkeeping’s support and guidance, SOS: Support Our Shoal is a campaign designed to bridge the gap between the home aquarium community and impactful conservation of the world’s most threatened freshwater fish.
SOS: Support Our Shoal provides a reliable channel for aquarists to direct vital funds to the freshwater species and ecosystems that need them most.
Search for the Lost Fishes
All around the world, freshwater fish face multiple stressors that have caused populations to plummet and, for all kinds of reasons, once discovered species have fallen off our radar. These Lost Fishes are species that have gone unseen for years – even decades – and are feared possibly extinct. In order to save these species, we first need to find them.
SHOAL have worked closely with Re:wild to launch a freshwater fish-focused extension to their tremendously successful Search for Lost Species campaign. In collaboration with Re:wild and the IUCN-SSC Freshwater Fish Specialist Group, SHOAL has compiled a list of more than 300 fish species that are currently missing to science.
