Eugenie Clark (1922-2015) was an American marine biologist and ichthyologist of mixed Japanese and European descent. After earning her B.A. in zoology from Hunter College in 1942, she completed her M.A. and Ph.D. in biology at New York University in 1950. Clark was a pioneer in scuba diving for research and became an authority in marine biology. Her research on shark behavior earned her the nickname "Shark Lady." In 1955, she founded the Cape Haze Marine Laboratory (later renamed the Mote Marine Laboratory), where she conducted groundbreaking research on fish behavior, ecology, and conservation. Clark's work challenged misconceptions about sharks, revealing their intelligence and complex behaviors. Throughout her career, she advocated for ocean conservation and inspired generations of marine scientists, particularly women. Her numerous honors include the Explorers Club's Medal for Exploration and the Royal Order of the Polar Star from Sweden.
