Your donation of $2,000 completely covers the cost of purchasing and installing a brand new receiver station.

Your station NAME

The date placed

The excitement of purchasing your own receiver station will come one year after we have deployed it when we come to download and analyze the information. We will update you with the data regarding which sharks were heard, when, and how often. We will also update you as to how this relates to the rest of our receiver array!
