Lucy McCain attended the CMERA shark and ray research program last year. Through this program, she was able to get experience with hands-on research. See what Lucy had to say about the program below:

"During last year, I had decided to attend the CMERA shark and ray research program. I loved the program! It was a really incredible opportunity to get experience with hands-on research, and I think it is a program that would really benefit marine biology students or other environmental science students that want to be involved in field work. I learned about the capture and release of specimens, and the data collection of specimens. I had such a wonderful time with the program, and learned so much not only about the specimens themselves, but what actual field work is like.
