Shark Tagging Excursion
Shark Tagging Excursion
BIBLICALLY-BASED EVENT
Saltwater Studies is going shark tagging! This event is offered in partnership with Nova Southeastern University and the Guy Harvey Research Institute. This event is offered once per year in April in association with the Florida’s Marine Animals field course for high school students.
Date: Monday, April 28, 2025
Time: 7:15 AM - 4:30 PM

Age Group: Participants must be 8 years and older. Children under 13 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
All participants, including adults, must register and pay for their participation.
Description: This excursion is truly a "hands-on" experience. You will have the opportunity to participate in activities such as prepping the rigging, setting the lines, reeling in the sharks, and even placing the tag onto the shark. Guy Harvey Research members will teach you how to do each task, and you can choose which tasks you would prefer. You will have opportunities to see, touch, and work with the sharks up close. Please note that this type of fishing is difficult so please come prepared to work hard!
