SOSF Shark Research Centre

The major focus of the Save Our Seas Shark Research Center USA (SOSSRC) is to conduct targeted and impactful scientific research to improve management, conservation, recovery and understanding of the world’s sharks and rays.

A hallmark of the SOSSRC is that it specialises in taking integrative, multi-disciplinary approaches to research and conservation, which include combining high-tech genetics, genomics and field work to illuminate holistically aspects of shark and ray science that would be difficult to decipher using single-discipline approaches alone.

The SOSSRC is located in Nova Southeastern University’s Guy Harvey Oceanographic Center building in Dania Beach, Florida, USA. The five-storey building opened in September 2012, with an architectural theme inspired by the ocean.
