About this Expedition
Location: The Bahamas
Our science team run week-long research intensive expeditions to the east side of Andros, Bahamas with the aim of contributing critical data to our hammerhead, sawfish, silky shark, Caribbean reef sharkand sharks of Andros projects.
Each expedition will be led by one of our resident scientists, an experienced field technician, and seven research assistants (you). Research assistants will be immersed all week in mini classes, such as knot tying and equipment preparation, followed by in-field experience, and for some, actively participating in research activities.
We will conduct a variety of science-based activities, which will include some of the following: baited remote underwater video surveillance deployments (BRUVs), drum line surveys, poly ball captures and more.
We are truly excited to learn more about the sharks and rays of Andros, and we thank you in advance for your support.
