Bimini Biological Field Station - Shark Lab

The vet comes to the Shark Lab!

With no resident veterinarian on the island, the team from Caves Village Veterinary Hospital on Grand Bahama came to Bimini to assess the health of our local animals! The team spent a day at the Shark Lab performing check ups for the animals of South Bimini before heading to North Bimini to spay, neuter, and check up on the animals over there.

In the lead-up to the clinic, our staff and interns team up with Island Paws Rescue to advertise the clinic and locate stray cats and dogs. During the clinic, our crew helped with organizing visitors, assisted with check ups and supported the visiting vets and animals however we could!

Goodbye to Northwestern High school!

We had a fun shark-filled week with you all despite some windier days! Some highlights included snorkelling the Sapona shipwreck, seeing Blacktips, Lemon sharks and southern stingrays and even a Caribbean reef shark! Thank you all for an excellent week!

Boots, bands and big shark energy!

Our crew had such an amazing and successful time at Tortuga Country Music and Conservation Festival this year! 

We were set up in the conservation village for 3 days where we chatted to over 300 people about sharks, the work we do at the lab, our work in the Florida Keys, and gave out more stamps than ever! Noodle, our Nurse shark also had such a fun time dancing to the pop-up bands! Thank you to everyone who visited our booth! It was great to meet so many shark enthusiasts and we look forward to returning next year!

We had such a fun week here at the station hosting students from Fairfield University! They’ve been an incredibly fun group and we had a packed week filled with shark ecology lectures, tidepooling, snorkelling reefs, wrecks and encounters with large lemon sharks and stingrays!

Thank you Fairfield, we hope to welcome your university back again in the future!
