We found that because #sharks play such diverse and sometimes important functions in maintaining healthy oceans, their current decline is an urgent problem.

Hi #Tampa!

Looking for something to do this weekend?

Get your JAWS on this! #SHARKCON is happening this weekend and @FIU’s own #SharkFest stars will be there! 🦈

Come meet the real-life scientists behind the shows.

Gooey is a custom designed, non/toxic gelatin decoy that recently had a bite taken out of the tail end by a curious bull shark. This bite is giving us unique insight into the characteristics of shark bites including a detailed look at teeth marks. @fiucase #sharkfest

[FIU College of Arts, Sciences & Education @FIUCASE]

Clearly, the dean has been working on something new. 🤔 Can’t wait to find out what this is! Tune in to Sharks vs. Dolphins: Bahamas Battleground tonight at 10 pm on @natgeotv. #SharkFest @FIU

[Mike Heithaus @MikeHeithaus]

54 years ago this month, man first landed on the moon. This begs the question, is this a picture I took of a crater on the moon or something more fishy? 🤔 Tune in to @NatGeoTV tonight at 10 pm to find out. (Spoiler alert! I’ve never been to space.)

[Mike Heithaus @MikeHeithaus]

Enjoying tonight’s @NatGeoTV #Sharkfest! It was fun working w/ Dr. Steve Kajiura on When Sharks Attack 360! Can’t wait to see @GregSkomal and @MegalodonWinton next. And join @fiu @nffarabaugh and me at 10/9C for Sharkcano: Hawaii! 🌋🦈 @FIUCASE
