Virtual Shark Outreach Program by Dr. Mikki McComb-Kobza for any Classroom in the World!
We have conducted virtual outreach sessions with schools across the globe to educate students about the importance of the ocean and why species, like sharks, matter. We have shared the "Truth About Sharks," transformed fear into fascination, and promoted the vital role the ocean plays in our everyday lives. To date, our virtual outreach has reached hundreds of teachers and over one hundred thousand students!
