A few times a year we run fundraisers known as Shark Surveys.

This opportunity is a great way to support MISS and experience something you may otherwise not.

About miss

MISS provides a community and funding opportunities for gender minorities of color who wish to enter the field of shark sciences. We aim to show that there are many gender minorities of color succeeding in and interested in this field.

​We fundraise and apply for grants to create paid opportunities to attempt to knock down the financial barrier into shark sciences. We encourage other organizations in our field to do the same.
