I’d bet everything that I have in the bank (which isn’t much) that the CAP pilots would volunteer to be “aerial shark spotters”, IF they were asked.
(To paraphrase a Bible verse: “Those who ask not, neither do they receive.”)

Fyi, we Texas Master Naturalists ask the CAP for help in our various conservation projects & they never say “NO”, to my personal knowledge.

Both the GREYHOUND UNDERGROUND & FAST FRIENDS also uses CAP aircraft to move “off the track” adoptable greyhounds around the USA, too.

They may not opt for a spotter plane because they are not allowed to fish in state waters, and are fishing in deep water .

Whites are not usually a surface fish and stay down and may not be seen. Unlike at the seal colonies where the seals are onshore and the adjacent water is shallow and the white shark can easily be seen from above in the shallow adjacent water. - Tom
