Our shark educators can meet (in-person or online) with students/educators in classrooms, community groups, and organizations. The goal of the virtual or in-person presentation is to engage students and get them excited about sharks. We want to dispel some myths surrounding these amazing animals while encouraging kids to be good junior scientists and global citizens; what they do matters, and they can make a difference for sharks no matter who they are or where they live. Lessons are available for students K-12 (ages 4-18). 

​

What is an in-person Shark Education Tour? 

Each 'Shark Education Tour' is customized to suit the needs of the particular school or group we are visiting. We work with you to involve the whole community. We provide school presentations, school workshops, and evening presentations.  We typically spend 3 to 7 days in an area, working with schools, local organizations, and community leaders to speak to as many people as possible. We have led Shark Education Tours in Arkansas, North Carolina, Florida, St. Eustatius, Ontario, Guatemala, Arizona, Saba, St. Maarten, Spain, Singapore, The Bahamas, and Turks and Caicos.
