“Sharks are beautiful animals, and if you’re lucky enough to see lots of them,
that means that you’re in a healthy ocean. You should be afraid if you
are in the ocean and don’t see sharks.”
– Sylvia Earle
Are you a fan of Shark Week? Have you ever had a question about sharks and didn’t know who to ask? Do you have a favorite shark, or have you ever wondered about the tagging and data collection that helps scientists understand these animals?
Well, Wednesday is your time to come by and ask those questions from the man on the front line of collecting this data. We are very excited to welcome Chris Fischer, Founder and Expedition Leader of OCEARCH, as he takes some time out of his busy schedule to visit with us. OCEARCH is home ported right here in Jacksonville, Florida.
Friends, I think we need a bigger boat…
