Project Overview

During December 11th – 18th, 2019, The International SeaKeepers Society teamed up with the University of Miami’s Shark Research and Conservation Program and Arizona State University’s Sulikowski Shark and Fish Research Lab for a historical shark tagging expedition in Tiger Beach, Bahamas. The team set out to find and identify pregnant tiger sharks to determine where and when they give birth using new technologies to ensure gravid females and the next generations are protected.
