Join the Aquarium staff for a day of shark tagging off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland. Tagging sharks provides scientists with information on stock identity, migration and abundance, age and growth, mortality, and behavior. Captain Mark Sampson’s experience and reputation have made him a sought-after lecturer, demonstrator, writer, and guide for shark tagging and other offshore fishing techniques. This is an exclusive, hands-on-event—don’t miss out on an exciting day on the water!

For more information or to make a reservation, please call 410-727-FISH, Mon.–Fri., 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. EDT.

Please note: Directions will be mailed with tickets.

Members: $200; non-members: $250 [Return to top]
