Image: NOAA It's Shark Week! Do you know researchers need your help to learn more about these fascinating, underwater creatures? Below, you'll find five projects to help us learn more about sharks and what we can do to protect them. Join us today at 2:00 PM ET for the next #CitSciChat, a Twitter discussion about citizen science, moderated by @CoopSciScoop and sponsored by SciStarter. Chat with project owners and researchers studying sharks! Check out the SciStarter blog for updates on your favorite projects and find new projects in our Project Finder!
