We know, nobody likes to pay for shipping.
These days, big-box retailers offer free shipping. Yes, it feels great, but HOW? Said “free” shipping is possible only because they raise product prices and/or cut important costs, such as product quality and customer service.
We, however, believe in transparency and being upfront with our customers.
So we ask you to pay a flat rate of $9.30 for standard shipping for all orders under $50.00, and we cover the remaining shipping cost.
For orders of $50.00 or more, we cover your full shipping cost as a thank you for supporting our mission to protect marine life worldwide.
Delivery time depends on your location, and delivery days are Monday to Saturday with the exception of national holidays.
If you have any questions, our team will be happily available at info@marinelifemission.org
Thank you for choosing Marine Life Mission and joining our cause - we couldn’t do this without you!

a brutal luxury
90% of marine life is already extinct
Whale sharks have increasingly become victims of fin hunters. Fins are commonly used in parts of Asia as a luxury culinary item. The search for this product has increased over the last few decades. This is arguably one of the most brutal and unnecessary practice, as fins have no nutritional value, and the shark meat is usually discarded.
By tagging whale sharks, marine biologists have been able to record important data that support preservation studies and protection legislation. In 2011, for example, the US prohibited the movement of shark fins through US ports. Many other countries followed suit, like Canada, Palau and Taiwan.
Since whale sharks don't have natural predators, they are considered top predators. In ecosystems where top-level predators become extinct, the number of the creatures they prey on increases dramatically.
Our big-finned friends are crucial to keeping the ocean teeming with plankton. Overgrowth of plankton will affect all plants and animals in the ocean, since algal blooms cause toxins that are harmful to fish, shellfish, mammals, birds, and all animals that eat them, including us humans.

The tracker can last anywhere from months to many years – it’s hard to predict but certainly Whale Sharks is one of the animals where telemetry works for the longest 😊
There are NO ongoing costs! :)
Data receiving costs are already included in the price of the product.
Transmitter setup methods are used to not harm the animals, wound its shell or skin, or raise the chances of being trapped. In addition, having a device does not impact their feeding, migration, and reproduction.
There are many organizations working to protect and preserve Marine Life, but we have found that those located in underdeveloped countries are the ones that suffer the most with funding. While the problem is global, and we concentrate our efforts mostly on developed countries, we will not get anywhere near to the solution.
Although the funds are not available in these areas of the world, the will and energy from marine biologists, researchers, volunteers, etc., is as big as from anywhere in the world. In fact, after visiting and meeting with countless people from the field, we feel confident to say that marine biologists and researchers from these countries are within the most resourceful people we ever met.
For orders smaller than $ 40.00, the Global Standard Rate is only $ 4.00.
This includes all costs of delivery and custom duties.
We aim to ship your order on the next business day. Delivery time depends on your location, and delivery days are Monday to Saturday with the exception of national holidays.
You will receive a track and trace code via email. If you have any questions, our team will be happily available at info@marinelifemission.org .
