Saving Sharks with Sophi – Blog 2 – Discovering the Oceans & Shark Research
I went on my first adventure to the ocean when I was 4. I went on my Uncle Curt’s boat and caught my very own fish. Then, my Uncle Curt caught a shark! When I saw it, I started to fall in love with sharks.

I thought the ocean was beautiful – you would look out at this amazing place and see a whole world to explore.
I started to study sharks for a long time then and I got surprised with a research trip from my Uncle Curt, Auntie Kelli and Dr. Hammerschlag in April. It was the best day of my life! I met a hammerhead which was my dream. I met other kinds of sharks too.

I took lots of notes on the boat. I learned that the lemon shark goes to lay their babies at the same spot every time. The baby sharks come out of their mother’s tummy tail first. I learned that there is a dance called the hammerhead. I made up a bull shark and lemon shark dance too!

Hi Sophi! I’m your grandma Sandy’s cousin from Seattle. We met at her house a week or two ago at a family party. I love your shark blog and reading about all your adventures. It’s so cool that you got to go on the research ship and learn about sharks up close and personal!
