Why do they need to track the sharks? Can’t we spend the money on important things?
I’ve seen at least one science program in which they track how far the great whites travel after eating.
The purpose was to show that when a great white eats a swimmer, great whites shouldn’t be shot because the offending shark will have moved far away.
Yes, it was to protect killer sharks from being hunted.
I’m sure this one is related to global warming, as well.
Without looking it up first, I am willing to bet science already knew great whites migrate this far.
Next they will use satellites to figure out where all those birds went for the Winter.
It’s the “wow” factor - bragging rights.
