Summary

Another amazing adventure with my friend Chris aka FishGuyPhotos on all the Social Media. Got to go along and watch as they tagged sharks for research. Asked Chris to write up a description of what and why they do what they do: Long Island's coastal waters have an abundance of sharks, all of which we know very little about. In 2015, a small group of researchers were the first to deploy a satellite tag on a juvenile great white shark off Long Island’s south shore. Since then we have tagged over 30 juvenile great whites along with an additional couple hundred sharks such as mako, blue, sandbar, dusky, sandtiger, tiger, hammerheads, spinner and blacktip sharks.
