Interested in supporting our project? Want to buy us a beer?
Donate here or by sending an e-transfer to shields.s.g[at]gmail.com.
Want us to give a talk, provide media for your organization, or collaborate on research? Contact us at expeditioneelgrass@gmail.com.
If your nation or community has eelgrass habitat and you are interested in having us collect samples in your area—but we have not yet connected—we encourage you to get in touch. By reaching out, we can coordinate sampling efforts and further expand our collaborative network.
We are also actively seeking support for our scientific research. Processing a single genetic sample costs approximately $70, and every contribution directly increases the number of samples we can analyze. Greater funding allows us to strengthen and broaden the scope of our research.
In-kind donations of gear or supplies are also appreciated. In particular, we are still looking for the following items:
- Three-person tent
- Immersion gear
- Waterproof footwear
- Camping mat
- Freediving fins
- Canon camera lenses
- Underwater camera
- Dried food
- Backyards, spare bedrooms, and showers along the route
