Koncept Events owner, Hillary Smith, CMP, CSEP and her husband were invited to experience the South Florida Student Shark Program’s Research Excursion first hand on Saturday, February 6th off the coast of Islamorada, FL. Already having a deep interest and respect for sharks, they were excited and anxious to see shark expert Neil Hammerschlag, Ph.D. in action along side 7 other scientists as they do their part to sustain the world’s most threatened species.

“Cool wouldn’t be the word that i would use to describe the experience” says Dr. Edward Smith, “This was life-changing for my wife and I. We no longer look at simple things like fishing, the ocean in general or being predator vs. prey the same way. This was easily one of the coolest things we have ever done and we cannot wait to get back out there and help save more sharks.”

The best part about this program, in addition to being available only in South Florida, is that this is a once in a life-time type of activity. This is perfect for corporate groups or VIPS who have seen and done it all. How many Deep Sea Fishing excursions can you take the CEO or the top Execs on before they get bored? This Shark Research excursion adds purpose to a fun, team-building activity out on the water. This experience allows for way more of an agrenaline rush and true learning with your guests actually participating in baiting the hooks, doing biopsies, taking blood, date entry and measuring live sharks. This is safe, exhilarating and best of all, all of this information will be used to help these animals out.
