Take a shark quiz and you could join a Nantucket shark-tagging expedition
Think you have the chops to tag sharks for research? Now’s your chance.OCEARCH, a nonprofit that tracks and conducts research on sharks around the world and tagged numerous sharks off the Cape in the past, has started a contest with the grand prize of joining a 7-day research expedition off Nantucket. The winner gets three-nights on board the M/V OCEARCH where you’d get to see the researchers at work tagging sharks, plus three-nights to relax on Nantucket with $500 spending money. A secondary prize of an Explorer’s Gear Pack, which includes a shark hat, “shark skin” shades, and an OCEARCH shirt, will go to 100 runners-up. To enter, you have to take the nonprofit’s true or false quiz on sharks. You automatically get an entry for answering the first question. If you answer correctly, you’ll be given two entries. Additional chances can be gained by sharing the contest on social media. You have to be 18 years old and take the quiz before August 16 to win.
