Shark Tagging in the Atlantic
Shark tagging….No, it’s not the newest version of online “tagging”, this is real, hands-on tagging of live sharks on the open ocean.
Join Baltimore Aquarium staff and Captain Mark Sampson, a recognized shark lecturer and writer, for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend a half-day on the water tagging live sharks off the coast of Ocean City.
Tagging sharks helps marine biologists and scientists, by providing valuable on shark populations, habits, identity, migration and life span.
