Schoolchildren from Wisconsin support shark tagging
Wisconsin, USA |
|
Several elementary schools in Berlin, Wisconsin joined forces to support Migramar’s shark research. The idea came from one of the teachers, Pat Arndt, who spent some time in Galapagos with the Toyota International Teacher Program surrounded by hammerheads and other sharks.
When he returned home, he explained how the MigraMar initiative was helping to discover key information for the conservation of these species. The kids managed to raise over $1000 which will go towards satellite tagging activities on our coming research cruise in March 2010. The children also held a competition to name one of the sharks that will be tagged. Joey Schmidt won with.... you guessed it: Jaws!!! Joey and his friends will be able to follow Jaws’ movements online as we post its positions on our new animated map as we get the information from the satellite system. Joey will also receive a cool shark t-shirt from the research crew when they get back from the field. |
