Research Volunteering at Shark Tooth Bay – Dive In and Contribute to Real Science
At Shark Tooth Bay, we believe that research shouldn’t happen behind closed doors, we truly think that the whole community should be not only up to date but also involved. As the number one globally recognized shark research science center, Shark Tooth Bay offers opportunities for volunteers to participate in meaningful, real world scientific research that helps us advance our understanding of sharks, their habits, and their ecosystems.
Our research volunteers play a vital role in supporting science that excels conservation and informs citizens of the advancements in shark science. With the support and guidance of researchers, volunteers can contribute to the Shark Tooth Bay Research Institute in numerous ways.
Field data collection, shark behavior monitoring, environmental sampling, and data entry are just a few examples of how our local volunteers help out. Volunteers can become part of the real world research projects happening in our town.
Shark Tooth Bays research volunteer roles are meant for middle school, high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. They are open to and highly encouraged for all citizens of Shark Tooth Bay. Our volunteer research opportunities are available to anyone with a passion for ocean science and are eager to learn, engage, and contribute to our research efforts. Some volunteer roles require pre-requisites such as coursework or field experience, while other roles are open for anyone to try out.
We believe that research volunteering matters because of four key reasons; contributing to real science, gaining experience, building professional connections, and supporting conservation.
