An interview recorded aboard the famous OCEARCH great white shark research vessel, which has completed 26 worldwide expeditions. In addition to global conservation outreach & education, OCEARCH shares real-time data through their free "Global Shark Tracker." You can download the app on your phone to track white sharks all over the world. Scientists attach a small tracking device to the animals dorsal fin which automatically turns off when submerged and transmits gps coordinates once it has been exposed to air for at least 90 seconds. This device eventually falls off the animal as the shark continues to grow (Great White Sharks can grow upwards of 20' in length). Many things set the OCEARCH apart from other research vessels, one major contributor is the fact that they lift the animals out of the water using a hydraulic crane which is safer for both the researchers and the animals. www.ocearch.org Get bonus content on Patreon
