Have you heard about our new marine lab? In January of 2022, Ocean First Institute partnered with @marinelabkeylargo by establishing our own research base! In Key Largo, we will be conducting shark and other marine research with students and citizen scientists.
I’m really enjoying watching the @ICSVVSD Data Science team present to @BoulderCountyOS staff on their work on restoring the Northern Red-Belly Dace. Passion+Authentic +Partners=Success! Thanks @MacKobza @OceanFirstInst Jayme Sneider. #stvrainstorm
Juvenile white shark Olympia just checked in off of Charleston, SC! We met this 7ft, 187lb female shark during Expedition New England last year and she's worked her way nearly 1,400 miles south since.

Shark Senses: Species Adaptations
“There are fascinating questions to ask about each of these species on how their senses have evolved overtime to allow them to be the fantastically adapted animals that they are. “ – Dr. Mikki McComb-Kobza
#ScienceBriefSunday#SharkSenses
To OBX she goes! Sub-adult white shark Andromache measures in at 10 ft 8 in (3.25 m). She's currently enjoying the waters off of OBX, NC! She pinged in this location back in October of 2020 and 2021 and early in May of 2021! Keep on swimming on sweet girl! 😍🦈🙌
Did you know that nearly 2/3 of the 500 species of sharks in our oceans measure no more than 3.3 ft (1 m) and over one half of them live deeper than 660 ft (200 m)?! Remarkable... aren't we? 😍🦈💥 #SharkSchool#SharkSaturday

SHARK SENSORY SYSTEMS: SIGHT
Sharks have very complex eyes with mobile pupils that allow them to control the amount of light that enters their eyes. Learn more about this important sense with Dr. Mikki McComb-Kobza!

Maple is in the Gulf of Mexico, pinging again near New Orleans! She's pushing the boundary between the East & West Gulf of Mexico. #NewOrleans#FactsOverFear#OCEARCH
Pics from my 1st 2 sawfish surveys. The best part about running these surveys is getting to fill my crew with up-and-coming marine scientists to get hands-on experience & build an inclusive science community Funded by @WWF. Shout out to my fav captain: @CoastalElasmos
