Help me become a shark scientist for a day!

Story

I'm Cora's mom, and I'm organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Cora and her friend. They're heading into 3rd & 4th grade this year, and these two girls are deeply interested in Sharks!! In Spring of 2023, these two brave friends will have the opportunity to join the executive board of Minorities in Shark Sciences (www.misselasmo.org) and their partner, Field School, in the waters off Miami, FL for a day of shark research! They will get a chance to participate in scientific shark work ups which includes: -Identifying the shark and its maturity -Measuring the size of the shark -Taking a small muscle and fin sample -Inserting an ID tag for future research Species they might see includes: Blacktip shark (C. limbatus) Bonnethead shark (S. tiburo) Great Hammerhead (S. mokkaron) Blacknose shark (C. acronotus) Bull shark (C. leucas) Nurse shark (G. cirratum) This fundraiser will help cover the costs of travel and lodging for the trip. A donation has already been made to M.I.S.S. for the opportunity to participate while also supporting the mission of this organization! For every $100 raised, Cora and friend will share 1 amazing shark fact for you to enjoy. Thank you for your contribution!
