We had a FIN tastic field trip with grade 10 & 12 students from Louise McDonald High School. They learned about lemon sharks & mangroves. They also discussed the importance of protecting this ecosystem. Special thanks to Bimini Scuba Center and McPZ Foundation

We recently partnered with the Girl Scouts of SE Florida for a JAWsome shark science and education day. The scouts learned about shark tagging, tested their knowledge with shark trivia, heard about careers from our team, got crafty and creative, and went on our VR shark dive.
