Based on the Misión Tiburón work, in May 2018 the Government of Costa Rica declared the Wetlands of Golfo Dulce a Scalloped Hammerhead Shark Sanctuary. In November 2018, we signed an Agreement with the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE) to strength the Sanctuary, promoting the following actions:

In November 2019, we signed an Agreement with the Ministry of Security of Costa Rica to collaborate with the Environmental Unit of Coastguards to improve the management and protection of marine resources of the South Pacific of Costa Rica, including Golfo Dulce, by the implementation of educational programs, capacity building training, monitoring of marine endangered species and research projects. Thanks to this Agreement, Misión Tiburón and the coastguards established an Educational Station in Golfito, where they receive students among the local communities of Golfo Dulce to spread awareness about the importance of coastal-marine ecosystems, the protection of endangered species and the responsible use of marine life.

Cocos Marine Conservation Area Partnership

Since the formation of Misión Tiburón, we have fostered a close relationship with the Cocos Marine Conservation Area (ACMC) to collaborate on education, research and capacity building programs.

As result of this alliance, in March 2010, Misión Tiburón, in order to formalize their relationship with ACMC, signed a Cooperation Agreement with the National System of Conservation. ACMC includes Isla del Coco National Park, which is located 532 km southwest of Cabo Blanco, in the Pacific Ocean off Costa Rica.
