Shark Research and Conservation Scientists from the University of Miami release a bull shark back into Miami waters after a brief scientific workup, including drawing blood, collecting a fin biopsy, tagging it with a satellite tag, and measuring its length. Satellite tags assist in helping scientists track species that are highly migratory - track these sharks with us https://sharkresearch.rsmas.miami.edu...

I've had the distinct privilege to serve as a digital media creative for Shark Research & Conservation at the University of Miami @sharktagging, an organization which conducts cutting-edge shark research while also inspiring scientific literacy and environmental ethic in youth through unique hands-on field research experiences. While I came for the art and sharks, I ended up staying for the brilliant, passionate life-long friends and the opportunity to share my love for the ocean with countless others. Here are some photos that capture the essence of their work. If you would like to support shark conservation, please head on over to their website: https://sharkresearch.rsmas.miami.edu/donate/
