Shark Month at UD

While the Discovery Channel may be satisfied with one week devoted to sharks, the University of Delaware Alumni Relations Blog is taking the advice of Tracy Jordan and we will “live every week, like it’s Shark Week.”

The final installment of the 2009 Ocean Currents Lecture Series, hosted by the University of Delaware College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment (CEOE), will focus on the sharks of Delaware Bayboat-withshark-2

The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will take place at 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 20, at UD’s Lewes campus on Pilottown Road.  It will provide attendees the opportunity to learn about some of the ecological services that sharks provide to the region, as well as problems facing these sharks including lack of human flesh upon which to feed.

While we’re sure that this lecture will be fascinating (we had no idea that there were sharks in the Delaware Bay), this post is frankly just another excuse for us to photoshop sweet sharks next to UD’s Sharp Research Vessel (see photo).
