About the Event
The Shark Research & Conservation Program (SRC) at the University of Miami conducts conservation-relevant shark research while inspiring scientific literacy and environmental engagement in youth through hands-on field research experiences.
Every year, SRC brings hundreds of people, mostly school-children, out on our research vessels to survey, sample, tag and study sharks. We especially try to serve communities that have been historically (and often currently) excluded from STEM opportunities. Students onboard will take an active role in real scientific projects, learn about the scientific method, and gather data that helps us understand and conserve sharks and rays.
Each participant (Youth & Adult), must complete the following waivers:
