We are thrilled to announce that Mr. Remus Bulmer, Academic Program Director at SPCHS-STEM, has been awarded a prestigious scholarship to attend the immersive Shark Biology and Conservation Research Experience at the renowned Bimini Shark Lab this summer.

The Bimini Shark Lab is a research facility located on the South Bimini Island in the Bahamas. The Bimini Shark Lab, known for its groundbreaking research and conservation efforts, received over 200 applications for this year’s course. Out of these, only 28 scholarships were awarded, making this achievement particularly noteworthy. Notably, Mr. Bulmer was the only participant selected from the entire state of Florida.

Participants will engage in hands-on activities, including boat trips and ocean excursions with wild sharks, providing a unique opportunity to learn from leading experts in shark biology and conservation. This immersive experience aims to equip educators with the knowledge and skills to inspire the next generation of conservationists.

Mr. Bulmer is a science enthusiast whose love for research began as an undergraduate student at Florida State University, where he studied population dynamics of sharks in Florida’s Big Bend. He is currently conducting research on shark migration patterns in the Atlantic Ocean, between Florida and the Bahamas. Mr. Bulmer intends to bring the information gained from this research experience at the Bimini Shark Lab back to his campus to foster a love for science and ocean conservation amongst his students.
