My name is Sophi and I am 7 ½ years old. This is my blog. I live in Richfield, Minnesota, USA, with my Mom, Dad and sister Signe. I like to draw, read, play outside and study the ocean. My favorite thing about the ocean is sharks. I LOVE them!! I like to read about […]
Dear all, I would like to inform you of a recent publication that our Program helped support. X. Serrano, M. Grosell* and J. E. Serafy. 2010.

I am sad to report that within the last 24 hours, 2 pregnant sharks were killed. The first shark that washed up on shore, was in the Florida Keys yesterday. It was a 9 ft pregnant bull shark with 12 dead pups that were ready to be born. The second shark washed up this […]
The Best shark Trip Ever! 4/18/2010 Well, where do I start, how about the beginning of the day which did not look very promising. On the way down to the keys, Dominique Lazarre, Cameron Rhoads, and I were caught in such an immense downpour: not a good sign. We plowed through the torrential rain to […]
Saturday, April 17, 2010: It was nice to wake up in The Keys instead of having to drive that 2-hour stretch from home. That’s probably all that was good about the day, just kidding we did get some sharks, but I think we were all a little spoiled (rightfully!) from Friday. However, we all had […]
“Thank God it’s Friday,” is what most of us were thinking as we set out on April 16th. With South Broward High School, all of us from the shark program, and a few special visitors, the energy on the boat was ridiculously high! Curt’s wife Kelli, along with several other members of their family, including […]
03/27/2010 It was another beautiful day on the water with pleasant, calm weather – a slight wind made the surface choppy, but we still decided to head for the clearer waters outside the bay. Joe Romeiro and Tim Divoll joined us again for the third trip of the weekend. It was our last chance to […]
Saturday March 27th, 2010 At Least We Got 10 Drumlines in the Water…Right? Oh the Florida Keys- sun, sand and blue skies- what more could one ask for? One could say that nothing else is needed in this concoction of elements to create a perfect day. However, there is a select few of us who […]
Sooo, I totally did not expect what 3/26/10 had in store for me when I woke up, exhausted at 5 am and under a not-to-promising-looking dark sky. “At least its hot,” I thought, and headed out. Furthermore discouraging was the POURING RAIN all the way down US 1 and the expressway; not to mention the […]
3/14/10 We were wary about how the conditions would be due to those of the day prior. Nonetheless, I made my way down with 11 students from Palmer Trinity School to meet Dr. Neil Hammerschlag, Joe Romeiro from 333 Productions, and the rest of the shark team interns. We were also accompanied by another VIP […]
