Shark Conservation Lab
The Daly-Engel Shark Conservation Lab at Florida Tech synthesizes lab-based genomics and bioinformatics with large-animal field ecology and predictive spatial modeling to discover and define drivers of biodiversity, and predict how changing environmental conditions will impact shark reproduction and movement patterns. With the help of an army of students and collaborators from all over the globe, these studies are designed to provide a roadmap to help policy makers better protect the world’s fiercest, most vulnerable predators.
These funds go directly to help the high school, undergraduate, and graduate students in the Florida Tech Shark Conservation Lab perform independent research and travel to present their work to fellow scientists, natural resource managers, and the general public.
