One more day to help us to raise funds to further our research efforts in purchasing shark tags. Help us blow past our goal of $30,000 and give hands on experience to students only found here at CSULB! 

We encourage you to take a moment to pass on the link and let your friends, family and colleagues know that their support goes a long way in helping understand, protect and preserve a key element in our environment. The study of these apex predators helps us dispel rumor, legend and falsehoods.

Please share our link https://beachfunder.csulb.edu/sharklab on your social media accounts and help spread the word. Gifts will go to purchasing shark tags which will allow our researchers and students to track sharks in their environments and to measure key data that is essential to understanding behavioral, feeding, travel and mating patterns.

Thank you and GO BEACH! 

We are back to raise funds to further our research efforts in purchasing shark tags. Help us blow past our goal of $30,000 and give hands on experience to students only found here at CSULB! 

For the next 30 days we encourage you to pass on the link and let your friends, family and colleagues know that their support goes a long way in helping understand, protect and preserve a key element in our environment. The study of these apex predators helps us dispel rumor, legend and falsehoods. 

Our research is unique where students get valuable hands on experience not only in the classroom but in the field. This prepares them to be job ready once they graduate. 

Your gift will go to purchasing shark tags, these tags allow our researchers and students to track sharks in their environments and to measure key data that is essential to understanding behavioral, feeding, travel and mating patterns. This understanding will help to further preserve and protect this often misunderstood creature. 

Make your gift now and help CSULB students make history!

I would like to thank everyone who has already DECLARED their support for the Shark Lab! We still have a long way go toward our goal.  Please let your friends, family and colleagues know about the Shark Lab’s mission of research and discovery. In past trials using shark Smart Tags with integrated cameras we have been able to see exactly what the sharks we are tracking are seeing. This enables us to place the behaviors of the sharks being studied in context of their actual environment. In addition, collecting data like this enables us to do many other types of analysis.

DECLARE your support today

Thank you to our donors who have made such amazing contributions to our cause. Your contributions go towards further understanding the mysteries of the deep and the lives of the apex predators that make up our diverse and complex ecosystem. Please let your friends, family and colleagues know of our mission and encourage them to DECLARE their support today. We are currently 28% funded with 17 days to go. Please spread the word and together we can all be successful!

Take a swim this summer off the coast of Long Beach and there may be an unexpected encounter with a pair of sharp teeth.

But more than likely, the encounter will be only a glimpse of a shark.

California State University, Long Beach, marine biologists issued an advisory last week cautioning beach-goers of an increase in baby shark population due to warmer waters brought on by this year’s El Niño.
