Description

Shark Educators: Representatives of the Long Island Shark Collaboration (LISC)

This program is an episode of “Shark Week in 4D”! The program starts at 9am on the docks of Stony Brook/Southampton’s Campus, where participants will board the R/V Paumanok. There you will be joined by one of our shark educators, Christopher Paparo. The boat will depart and, over the next hour, participants will learn about the natural history of Shinnecock Bay, Shinnecock Inlet, and the Atlantic Ocean, in addition to the shark research being conducted by the Long Island Shark Collaboration (LISC). The trip out ends at our location of choice (approximately 3 miles from the Shinnecock Inlet), where the scientists of LISC will be attempting to catch and tag sharks. Participants will spend approximately an hour on location, where they will be able to ask the scientists questions and learn about the equipment and methodology used by LISC. In the event a shark is caught, you will see the scientists collect data and tag the shark for their research. The researchers will explain, in real time, the work they are doing with the shark and answer participants’ questions. After the hour on location, the R/V Paumanok will return to the dock by approximately 12 Noon. Bring water and a light snack. Fee: SoFo Members, $45. Non-Members, $55. Limited enrollment.

Advance reservations are required for all events. For more information, reservations, and directions to meeting places, please call: (631) 537-9735.
