13. Shark Tagging with RJD & SEJ
3 months ago
On October 20, 2011, participants from the Society of Environmental Journalists Conference joined the RJ Dunlap Marine Conservation Program on the water in Key Largo, FL for a full day of shark research.

As hopes of finding a shark began to dwindle, a 6.5 ft Bull shark took the bait on nearly the last line, becoming the highlight of the day. This shark was fitted with a new satellite tag that will transmit its whereabouts to scientists at the RJD Program.
