Every fall, some of the largest great white sharks in the world gather right outside the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Teams of scientists from Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station in Monterey Bay have spent years tagging and tracking these sharks to find out why they come here, why they leave, and where they go when they do out into the Pacific on the "Great White Highway." But the sharks have kept much about their lives completely secret, leaving researchers with little information about what they spend their summers doing and almost no idea about where they mate or bear their young. Now, armed with new technologies, the team is hoping to wire the ocean to find out how these sharks live their lives and why California is one of the biggest stops along the "Great White Highway."

Book excerpt: “At last: the story of tracking the ocean’s most charismatic and controversial predator, compellingly told by the man who has learned more about the Atlantic great white shark than any other person alive. You must not miss this fantastic book!” —Sy Montgomery, New York Times bestselling author of The Soul of an Octopus Dr. Greg Skomal, one of the leading great white shark experts in the country, reveals the true nature of these mysterious apex predators, as well as the fascinating story behind their history and startling resurgence With its quaint villages, local restaurants serving up lobster rolls, and miles and miles of warm, sandy beaches, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is famous for being America’s carefree seaside getaway. But in August 2012, the first confirmed white shark attack in almost eighty years occurred in the region. As shark sightings quickly began to increase on Cape Cod and elsewhere, and large beachside billboards warning about the growing shark population became a common sight, a boogie boarder died after being attacked by a great white shark in Cape Cod’s shallow waters. What had changed to cause news of human-shark interactions to go from being a rarity to being the new normal? As some citizens called for shark culls, nets, drone surveillance, and other extreme solutions, interactions between local residents and scientists, politicians, and those responsible for public safety became tense and frantic. Dr. Greg Skomal, a shark biologist whose lifelong passion has been to gain a more refined understanding of great white sharks, was at the center of it all. This is the story of the great white shark’s return to the eastern seaboard, told through the life of the scientist who found himself in the oftentimes thankless position of having to balance conservation efforts and the drive to do important science with panic and fear in the court of public opinion. Greg has spent decades on a quest to tag, track, and demystify this animal, using every high- and low-tech method at his disposal, including those he invented, and he frequently comes face-to-face with these shadows of the deep. He leaves no stone unturned in his pursuit of the secrets behind the largely unknown lives of these charismatic creatures and in his duty to solve the intricate puzzle of how humans can coexist alongside them. Chasing Shadows is a too-rare conservation success story about restoring an apex predator to an ecosystem that provides a profound, new understanding of a beast so notoriously fierce that it’s nearly impossible to imagine how vulnerable it truly is.

Download or read book Behavior of the White Shark Carcharodon Carcharias and Scalloped Hammerhead Sphyrna Lewini written by A. Peter Klimley and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capture records of 109 white sharks caught along the western coast of North America indicate the following life history pattern. Adult females give birth to pups during the late summer and early fall south of the Point Conception to live both inshore or offshore at islands. As females continue to grow, they move back south of Point Conception yet remain offshore probably to give birth to young. It is believed that the areal distribution of the shark is governed by the availability of pinniped prey for adults and possibly the need for pupping grounds with few predators and competitors. The area with the highest abundance of sharks is the coastline within the Point Reyes/Farallon National Marine Sanctuary. A multisensor, computer-interfaced telemetry system has been built. Transmitters have sensors for monitoring swimming speed, depth, surrounding water temperature, and light level. Expansion board hardware converts pulsed telemetry signals to TTL logic. Software has been written to: (1) convert time intervals into sensor values, (2) display 8 channels of sensor values either numerically or graphically, (3) display sensor values of a single channel graphically with high resolution, and (4) store the sensor data on floppy disk. The system will be used to describe predation by the white shark on pinnipeds and orientational behavior in pelagic sharks.
