SHARKS - presented by Mote Marine Laboratory

Sharks have been a focus of Mote's research since the Lab started in 1955 by the "Shark Lady" herself, Dr. Eugenie Clark. Today Mote has the only Center for Shark Research designated by the U.S. Congress. Naturally, we have multiple research programs that are either fully or partly focused on sharks and their relatives, rays and skates. Hear about the critical importance of these fishes to marine ecosystems, their current challenges, and the exciting research around these legendary animals.
