Midway Atoll is an amazing laboratory for studying sharks. Tiger sharks move inshore during albatross fledging season. Galapagos sharks are sighted on blue water snorkels and whitetip reef sharks are seen under docks and piers. This is a rare chance to safely encounter sharks in the field. Working with Waik k Aquarium researchers, participants learn about the biology and ecology of Midway's sharks and assist on-going shark tagging and tracking research.
Cost includes airfare, student accommodations, meals, boat and activity fees.
