Shark research
Picture
Students help our team deploy and retrieve fishing gear to sample local shark and fish populations. Participants learn about our ongoing research projects and how they contribute to shark conservation and get to help take samples and measurements!
Mangrove snorkel
Picture
Students start the day snorkeling through a beautiful marine ecosystem along with several safety divers/kayaks and naturalist/scientific guides where they help us deploy a BRUV (baited remote underwater video) rig to help us study what species are utilizing the area and how they are interacting.
Seagrass biodiversity and seine netting
Picture
Participants explore the diversity of seagrass beds using a seine net to identify juvenile fish and invertebrates. Field School staff will also capture yellow rays (Urobatis jameicensis) and students are able to assist in taking measurements and samples as part of ongoing research on this species. 
Coral reef snorkel and restoration
Picture
Students visit a coral nursery and help our scientists outplant staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) fragments while snorkeling a local reef. 
 Marine debris clean up and mapping
Picture
Participants assist in a local clean-up of marine debris. After the clean-up debris is counted and catalogued as part of an ongoing research project on clean-up efficacy. Certain trash items are photographed and added to our online outreach tool mapping marine debris is South Florida.
