Discovery will leave no shark fan behind, bringing the Shark Week experience to viewers across digital and social media platforms.

New partnerships with shark experts and nonprofit groups will provide a 360 multi-platform experience to highlight the latest shark discoveries and trending shark topics around the globe.

This year, Oceana and Discovery are teaming up to help protect sharks from a global shark fin trade that harms as many as 73 million sharks each year.

Other major brands collaborate in Oceana’s campaigns to raise money for the fight against this brutal and wasteful practice and to educate fans about the importance of sharks in maintaining a healthy ocean ecosystem.

Discovery will also be working with Ocean Conservancy again this year to help clean up beaches and inland waterways across the country to keep the homes of sharks and other marine life clean and habitable.

Last year, Shark Week made a big ratings splash for its 30th anniversary, reaching 34.9 million Total Viewers across Total Day. Shark Week 2019 will take viewers to the depths of the ocean in search of Deep Blue.
