As the new year approaches, we want to congratulate our Fall 2023 graduates, Kathy and JJ! Wishing you both the best as you begin your careers in marine science. We can't wait to see where you go next!🦈
Check out this mature great hammerhead we caught and released last weekend off of the coast of Miami! Can anyone guess it’s total length?
Today is Giving Day at the University of Miami so if you've been thinking of supporting our work with sharks and youth in STEM, please make that donation today. We’re so grateful for your support!

Celebrating 🦈
We have joined forces with the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science to participate in the University's world-renowned shark tagging program to help raise awareness of the ocean’s ecosystem as part of our One Planet Campaign earlier this season.

Happy #SharkAwarenessDay
We spent the afternoon at Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo to speak with visitors about our work to protect vulnerable species 🦈 – at Key Largo, FL
Our @univmiami Summer Scholars had a sharky week on the water, tagging a variety of coastal species including a juvenile tiger! Go ‘Canes💚🧡🦈 – at Virginia Beach, VA
Happy World Oceans Day🌊🦈🪸🐠
Our oceans are so important for sustaining life, and sharks play a vital role in supporting healthy marine ecosystems. Let's work together to continue to protect these animals and their home!
We had an amazing time on the water with Girl Scout Troop 14005! The scouts helped us to measure, tag, and collect tissue samples from several coastal shark species that call South Florida home.

As the New Year approaches, our director is heading into a new chapter of his career.
Dr. Neil Hammerschlag established the Shark Research and Conservation Program at the University in 2010.
Since then, it has grown into a center of cutting edge research, outreach, and education for the next generation of marine scientists. Dr. Hammerschlag mentored over 50 graduate students and 150 undergraduates..
