SYMBOLIC SHARK ADOPTIONS
WHAT'S INCLUDED
This is a symbolic shark adoption!
Our $100 Name A Shark Donation allows you to symbolically adopt a uniquely individual, dart tagged shark from our database. This can be either a lemon, blacktip, Atlantic sharpnose, nurse, bonnethead, great hammerhead, tiger, or bull shark (depending on what sharks we have caught during our Florida Keys research trips!)
You will be able to name your shark, and receive a beautiful adoption certificate with your shark's name, measurements, and unique identification tag number. Each certificate is made for your individual shark, and you can choose who it is adopted by if you'd like to give it as a gift.
​
What is a dart tag?
A dart tag is a small external tag with a unique ID number used by researchers in cooperation with the National Marine Fisheries Service. If the shark is recaptured, the tag's number can be reported and the data is sent back to researchers. Please note, this tag is not a tracking tag, and you will not receive further data or updates about the shark unless it is recaptured.
