OPEN TO STUDENTS APPLYING FOR SUMMER SHARK RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS

Chris Cattaneo of Warren, Michigan died tragically at the age of 17 in July 2003, after the personal watercraft he was piloting collided with another watercraft. He is missed greatly by his family and friends. In addition to an active life that included songwriting and playing guitar for his own band, Chris had a deep, long-standing interest in shark biology. With this in mind, his family has created a scholarship fund in his memory that will partially support student internships in the Mote Center for Shark Research. This unique scholarship fund will make it possible for students like Chris to fulfill a life’s desire to work hands-on with sharks.
