Taylor Ham or Pork Roll? Settle the debate once and for all by symbolically adopting a New Jersey sandbar shark, named after our state’s most famous breakfast meat!

Your $60 adoption packet includes:

  • Personalized Adoption Certificate
  • Factsheet about sharks and their habitats
  • Sticker of your chosen shark name
  • Set of New Jersey shark bookmarks
  • Set of New Jersey shark greeting cards
