Mrs. Eugenie Clark, Ph.D. is an ichthyologist who began her studies on the behavior and reproductive isolating mechanisms of fresh-water aquarium fishes. She later combined her love for diving with study of marine fishes: first hard-hat diving and snorkeling, and then using scuba and submersibles. She has studied shark behavior in the deep sea from submersibles at depths of 1,000 to 12,000 feet. She has conducted dives off Grand Cayman, Bermuda, the Bahamas, California, and Japan to study the behavior, movements, and population density of large deep sea fishes.
Mrs. Clark has a Bachelor of Arts from Hunter College, New York, and M.A. and Ph.D. from New York University. She has also obtained three Honorary D.Sc. Degrees from University of Massachusetts, Guelph University and Long Island University. Mrs. Clark is the recipient of three Fellowships, four Scholarships, four medals (including the gold medal of the Society of Woman Geographers) and 31 other awards for work in marine biology, conservation, exploration and writing. She is one of the world's authorities on most species of sharks and author of scientific articles and books on sharks. She currently works out of the Mote Marine Lab in Sarasota, Florida.
