How Adoption Works
Choose whether you would like to adopt your own identified shark or select a shark from the NeuralFin catalogue. Once your adoption is confirmed, you will receive a personalised digital adoption certificate together with core shark information and future updates where available.
If you have already uploaded a shark through Shark ID AI, you may continue with adoption through your identified record. If not, you can explore the catalogue and sponsor a shark currently included within the programme.
