Tracking White Sharks! An Update on Population Changes off the West Coast of North America
Date/Time: August 11, 2021 12-1:30 pm Hawai`i / 3:00-4:30 pm Hawai`i / 6:00-7:30 pm Pacific
Join Dr. Salvador Jorgensen, Marine Ecologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz as he details the latest developments in a long-term study of the northeast Pacific great white sharks. A combination of management practices and climate change have led to range shifting and population fluxes among juvenile and adult white sharks. These changes, along with surprising interactions with other predators, underscore the dynamic nature of this cryptic top predator and its important role in coastal and ocean ecology.
