We just wanted to let you all know that our July 5th Shark Tagging Adventure was a success and an amazing experience for everyone involved. :)
We would like to extend a very special thanks to Brendal Davis, our shark expert and guide on the trip, for all her incredible work and dedication to this project and to the shark population in general. We love Brendal!
We would also like to thank Captain Art of Blue Shark Charters for being an excellent captain, for sharing his knowledge and experience with us all, and for taking a chance and allowing us to give this amazing opportunity for young people to study sharks in a hands-on way that has not been attempted before in this area.

We are also happy to announce that the media has picked up on the story of our trip and we have been given several amazing opportunities to share our experience and raise awareness about the plight of sharks in today's world.
