At OCEARCH, science is at the heart of everything we do. Our work is only possible because of the more than 200 world-class collaborators across 90 institutions worldwide who join us in the pursuit of knowledge. From universities and aquariums to laboratories and conservation organizations, these partners bring expertise, innovation, and dedication to solving the life history puzzle of sharks and other keystone species. Together, we’re advancing research that informs conservation policy and helps return our world’s oceans to balance and abundance.
