Hello All,
My name is Meag McCord from the SA Shark Conservancy (SASC) - a small marine research laboratory & education centre based in Hermanus.
SASC is running a campaign called Pimp the Shark Lab, which raises funds/equipment to help us revamp our flow-thru shark tanks & marine touch tank (which we haven't been able to upgrade since 2007). In addition to running 15 research projects, our mandate is to provide free experiential education on oceans & conservation to as many people as possible through interactions with our endemic shysharks & other local marine fauna. Currently more than 3000 people visit our Shark Lab every year... and they absolutely LOVE our sharks!
I am hoping the members on this forum might be able to help us; specifically through donations of equipment and expertise for building AMAZING systems which will help us improve the way we conduct research & educate people about the importance of our oceans.
Any help you can offer would be most greatly appreciated!
For more info about us, check out South African Shark Conservancy | Shark research, Internships, Education & Conservation.
Thanks so much for your time!
