Ocearch:大白鯊研究基金會是一個致力於全球大白鯊研究的非營利機構，大部分人肯定不想與大白鯊面對面接觸，但對Ocearch研究團隊的科學家來說，這就是他們的工作內容。科學家將有15分鐘的時間在甲板上對大白鯊進行12項檢查。

OCEARCH是開源研究的領導者，通過實時跟蹤全球鯊魚的資料並共享給各國的研究機構，OCEARCH迄今已經發布了32篇研究論文，OCEARCH擁有自己的探險隊，在這裡你可以瀏覽到他們的工作圖片，絕對是你沒有看到過的內容，想要了解自然科學中的奧祕就需要我們來關注這類站點了。

OCEARCH is a non-profit organization with a global reach for unprecedented research on great white sharks and other large apex predators. In a collaborative environment established by Founding Chairman and Expedition Leader Chris Fischer, OCEARCH enables leading researchers and institutions to generate previously unattainable data on the movement, biology and health of sharks to protect their future while enhancing public safety and education.

OCEARCH is a leader in open source research, sharing data in near-real time for free through the Global Shark Tracker, enabling students and the public to learn alongside PhDs. The Landry’s-developed STEM Education Curriculum, based on the Global Shark Tracker and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), is being launched for grades 6-8 in the fall of 2013 nationwide.

Over 50 researchers from more than 20 institutions have collaborated with OCEARCH to date with over three dozen research papers in process or completed. Research expeditions are conducted worldwide aboard the M/V OCEARCH, which serves as both a mothership and at-sea laboratory. Utilizing a custom 75,000 lb. capacity hydraulic platform designed to safely lift mature sharks for access by a multi-disciplined research team, up to 12 studies are conducted in approximately 15 minutes on a live mature shark. Powered by five Cat engines, the M/V OCEARCH is capable of Global Circumnavigation.

OCEARCH expeditions – through the support of Caterpillar and other partners such as Costa, Yeti, Yamaha, Contender, SAFE boats and Mustad – generate satellite tracks and other forms of data for sharks, with planned expansion to other species in the future. Seventeen research expeditions have been conducted to date, with seven more scheduled through the end of 2015.
