Students and participants join marine biologists on the water to learn about shark science firsthand. They help set baited lines, eagerly waiting to see which shark species they'll encounter. Once a shark is caught, the team works quickly and safely to measure, tag, and collect essential data while teaching about sharks' role in the ocean ecosystem. It's a unique opportunity to contribute to actual research and inspire the next generation of ocean advocates!
