The #MiamiSharkProject is a woman-led research initiative working to understand and conserve Biscayne Bay, located along the coast of downtown Miami, FL.

Our team has discovered Biscayne Bay is a nursery for at least seven shark or ray species, including Critically Endangered great and scalloped hammerheads.

We combine ecological and social science research to build a better future for Miami and  Biscayne Bay--one where humans and nature can thrive together.

You can read our recent publication on the identification of a great hammerhead nursery area through #ProjectBabyHammer, donate to support our research, or join our mailing list to be kept up-to-date on the project and how you can help.
