The Natural Laboratory, a podcast exploring science for Bay Area National Parks, interviews Scot Anderson, a local researcher who has studied Great White Sharks in the Point Reyes region and the Farallons for more than two decades. Anderson described his recent findings about the sharks, including how they follow a strict migration path between the West Coast of the United States and the Hawaii region. He and his colleagues with Stanfords Tagging of Pacific Predators Program also found that the sharks off the North Pacific are genetically isolated, meaning they dont mate with other Great Whites throughout the world. Anderson further describes the incredible details of how to tag a Great White Shark - the slideshow includes some fantastic Great White Shark images.
