How Science Supports the Conservation of Florida’s Sharks

The American Shark Conservancy investigates the biology and ecology of sharks to understand the impact of human activities on these fascinating creatures. Their research focuses on assessing the effects of fishing and ecotourism on vulnerable shark species, employing non-invasive data collection and community engagement. Sharing their findings with the public and decision-makers is pivotal to fostering advocacy and enacting real change. Hannah Medd, Msc. is the Lead Scientist and founder of the American Shark Conservancy a scientific nonprofit in Palm Beach, Florida. She began ASC in 2016 back in Florida to help answer important questions about vulnerable shark species and develop best practices and policies that ensure a better future for sharks and the oceans.

Registration is required to attend.
