Mercer Wu - Locust, New Jersey, USA I've been diving in Bimini before and fell in love with island living! Also, my previous study in marine biology has been primarily with algae, corals and other invertebrates, so I thought studying sharks would be a major step up on the food chain! I am here for 3 months.
