As we currently have no satellite tagged hammerhead adoptions to offer, we are offering you the opportunity to support our research with an advanced adoption. With this donation, you will be automatically given the privilege of adopting and naming the next hammerhead we catch and tag with a SPOT (satellite) tag! We have no timeline as to when this will happen, but believe it will most likely be in the next four-six months. If you buy this adoption you will be the first in line for a hammerhead adoption as we’re only offering this adoption to one person in advance.

About this shark

As the shark hasn’t been caught yet we do not know if it will be female or male, a great or a scalloped hammerhead, or if your shark will be caught in Andros, The Bahamas or in Florida, USA!

About this adoption

Your shark will be fitted with a 9 month- 1 year SPOT (Smart Position or Temperature Transmitting) tag, aka Satellite tag! The SPOT tag records and stores water temperature and transmits to Argos satellites each time the shark surfaces giving us a location. On adoption we’ll provide the sex and species of your shark and rough information on your sharks location/s, however we are unable to share exact data or location points.

In exchange for this adoption donation, you will have the privilege of naming him or her, you’ll receive an electronic adoption certificate, and we’ll excitedly reach out to you with regular updates as your shark surfaces (which provides us with his/her latest movements/location!).
