Old Harbor Outfitters Massachussets Shark Research Program The Massachusetts Shark Research Program (MSRP) was established in 1990 to study the ecology, distribution, and relative abundance of sharks that are subject to recreational fisheries in the commonwealth.  A thorough understanding of these parameters is crucial to the management process and wise utilization of these resources.  In addition to fieldwork, the project also provides public education and technical information on the biology, management, and use of sharks.  DMF biologists conduct cooperative research with other world-renowned shark researchers to provide local expertise and biological samples for these cosmopolitan, highly migratory predators.     Tag and Release Tee World Oceans Tee Trac Tee Home | Contact Us | OHO
