PROGRAMMING NEEDS
Need Vessels to Study Nassau Grouper Spawning
Once one of the most important fishery species in the Caribbean, grouper populations have since declined dramatically due to overfishing. A more improved fishery management plan needs to be implemented to save the Nassau Grouper. Travel with us to a remote Bahamian location and participate in one, two or three spawning events. Using SCUBA and a submersible, be a part of the team and capture footage and collect data to analyze the requirements and success of these important events.


Shark Population Studies
 
Globally, shark and ray populations are diminishing.  Global FinPrint aims to conduct surveys on coral reefs using baited remote underwater video to fill in the missing information about the decline of shark populations.

Manta Ray Research

A vessel is needed for a manta ray expedition in the Revillagigedo Archipelago region with departure and arrival from Cabo San Lucas. The goal is to further research on manta ray populations and uncover information on migratory patterns.
