Meet Zoe the Whale Shark Mermaid Representing Cape Cali 🐋🦈

Here is a little background on the newest member of the Cape Cali Mermaids pod Zoe Meyers. 💦

I go to California State University Long Beach! Here I study Marine Biology. I also volunteer at CSULB’s Shark Lab and Marine Lab. 🦈

My love started in the ocean when I was three years old! I went to a marine biology camp in Hawaii where I learned about different fish species, how turtles hatch, and much much more. Ever since that day, I knew I wanted to study marine biology! 🐬

I just completed a marine biology internship in Utila, Honduras with the Whale Shark and Oceanic Research Center (WSORC). Here I learned ALL about the reef. I could tell you any fish, organism, coral, and even algae on the reef thanks to WSORC! We also worked on several projects like our coral restoration project and our lionfish containment project. 🦀
