It's Shark Week, and what better way to celebrate than creating a cute interactive shark card using Sea-Prise from Avery Elle? More views and details on my blog: jantink.com/2018/07/sea-prise-avery-elle.html

You already know I'm a fan of most things citizen science, but you may
not have known that one of my childhood dreams was to grow up and be
an oceanographer, especially if I could do anything with coral reefs.
I fell in love with coral reefs through a non-fiction children's book
by Ray Bradbury from the local library. (It was later when I fell in
love with his science fiction books.) Curiously, my daughter also had
an oceanic affinity as a child, but instead of reefs, she was in love
with sharks, believing them to be sorely abused and in dire need of
defending. She was rather like a mama bear protecting her cubs if
anyone threatened sharks, and of course Discovery Channel's SharkWeek
meant we were all glued to the TV.
She was right, of course. Sharks DO need defending. Whale sharks in
particular. One of the most fascinat breeds of shark, these grand and
beautiful beasts are at risk of extinction. Enter citizen science to
the rescue.
ECOCEAN's Whale Shark project is a particularly interesting example of
citizen science in that it offers so very many different ways in which
to get involved.
1) You can donate vacation photographs of whale sharks.
2) You can analyse, catalog, and tag the donated photographs.
3) You can contribute data.
4) You can contribute money or "adopt a whaleshark."
5) If you feel those are too much, you can also donate computer
processing power when you aren't using yours, rather like the SETI
project.
I've never seen a project with quite so many different ways to
contribute and be involved!

HAPPY SHARK WEEK!
All I have is bait...
And I almost threw up of the side of the boat taking this picture. Haha. The waters are so rough there!
Seal Island off False Bay in South Africa. I learned during shark week so far that this is one of the great white's most favorite feeding places in the world.
Couldn't get it into the pic, but there's a giant dorsal fin on top of the Discovery Channel building too.

Once a year at the southern tip of Africa, hundreds of deadly sharks converge in this once spot to feast on sardines.
This beautiful 9ft long silky shark is a beauty! She gets her name from those tightly packed dermal denticles. Silkys are a decent sized shark maxing out at 10 feet long. They are native to the waters off the western Atlantic and are often mistaken for dusky sharks. This photo was taken at Adventure Aquarium in NJ as of today (7/30/13) the home to the nations largest collection of silky sharks.
I’m the Curator for Digital Media for the Rob Dunn Lab at NC State where we are a group of scientists/artists/communicators/educators and all around curious people that utilize #citizenscience to do our research by involving the public in data collection, experiments, analysis, hypothesis testing, belly button swabbing… For #sharkweek we’ve got a Tiger Shark jaw that was collected in 1988 in the Ichthyology collection at @naturalsciences. Today is a really special day for 12 middle school teachers – the #StudentsDiscover project is welcoming its third cohort of excellent @kenanfellows to spend the next three weeks working side by side with scientists in the glass-walled labs at @naturalsciences. Be sure to stop by and wave! / on Instagram www.instagram.com/p/BHKVUFVhV0q/

Well I'm delayed on Shark Week probably cause it came super early this year but I will try and catch up ;D
Count Fabulous celebrates Shark Week by riding a shark. Yes. He's that much of a badass that he does this while wearing his pink bathrobe. Don't you have a great white in YOUR bathtub?
Count Fab pities those who don't.
Photo from Aug 3. Shark Week! Watching the shark week edition of Cash Cab is the closest I come to that.
