Shark Tagging with the St. Thomas School
by James Komisarjevsky, RJD Intern
October 13, 2012
It was a quiet morning having to leave my house at 5:30AM in order to make it down to Islamorada for the shark trip planned for that day. Like always, I was screaming with excitement for being able to go out on the water with the RJD team and St. Thomas high school. Everybody had their hopes high and the RJD interns were even making friendly bets to see how many sharks we would be able to gather data on that day. Everybody knew it was going to be an awesome day when before leaving the docks, not one, but two rainbows had appeared in the sky. The RJD team and St. Thomas set out to the everglades national park in hopes of being able to gather data on some sharks.
