The shark ping detection buoys were retrieved for the winter on Friday, Jan 3, 2020. That is the latest I can remember, as they are usually taken out for the winter well before Thanksgiving, so the winter storms don't destroy them.
So far we have not had a coastal roaring Noreaster. This means they can analyze November and December buoy pings and see if any sharks were around. - Tom

I think a leg would be the most obvious location.

You’ll let us know where? We need to know when we fly Democrats out to sea... I’m not sure we can believe that they still cruise the old slave ship routes, like Leftists say...

I predict most of them will be found in the water near food sources..................

There is just so much we can learn from Sharks.
Theyre working on faster than light travel.

info- Hydrophones are underwater sound receivers placed strategically by many different groups of marine researchers to receive signals (pings) from acoustic tags placed on or inside various ocean species.
When an acoustic tagged species gets within a thousand feet, or less, depending on the condition of the water, the tags and hydrophone, the hydrophone records the date and time of the ping, and the unique signal indicates what tagged individual and species was involved.

Do the sensors detect “the presence of food”? I suspect that’s the biggest factor in whether sharks are present in a given area. Just sayin’
