Museum Programming is the main source of income for the museum, helping to keep the Living Sharks Museum free to the public. We are proud to be able to share our knowledge of sharks with you! Since we are a museum, we have all the artifacts at our fingertips to make your program truly enriching and authentic.

Thank you for your interest in programming with Living Sharks Museum, America's First Shark History & Conservation Museum! We look forward to booking programs in your venue.

KEITH COWLEY - OCEARCH EDUCATION AMBASSADOR

As of 2019 our Educator Keith Cowley has been named Ocearch Education Ambassador for all of New England, so our programming is covering a wide area and diverse community needs. The Ocearch curriculum we are helping to build is also STEM based, utilizing current real-life shark research scenarios aligned with the Ocearch Shark Tracker.

Ocearch is a world leader in real-time shark tracking. Operating from a decommissioned Alaskan Crabber, the Ocearch team is able to safely secure shark species around the world for scientific research and satellite tagging /tracking technology. You can track the tagged sharks on their website and see annual shark migrations!
