Still going!

Thank you so much to everyone who's backed the project so far. We're still pushing to reach a goal, but we've reduced the overall target to $9000, which will still allow us to get the ball rolling!

Danny and I managed to pick up a tag for half price at the recent American Elasmobranch Society annual meeting in Reno which is great. Now we just need to keep going to try to raise enough funds to get one more tag, and get us in the water! Please do pass this on to anyone who you think might be interested in helping us, and thanks again for your support!

About This Project

Hawaii has a population of Scalloped Hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini), forming aggregations at specific sites. Yet our lab catches them rarely, has never tagged an adult female, so we know little of this populations' ecology. To learn more, we need a completely different approach to tagging these sharks. We're proposing to use Closed-Circuit Rebreather (CCR) technology to stealthily tag four individuals from S. lewini aggregations, using a modified pole-spear to equip them with satellite tags.
