The Shark Lab at Cal State Long Beach, known for its groundbreaking research on sharks, is facing a funding crisis due to state budget cuts. The lab needs $500,000 to continue its vital work, which includes tracking the movements of great white sharks and developing strategies for mitigating shark attacks.
Marine scientists have made the rare feat of attaching a camera to a 9-foot female great white shark, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the predator’s underwater world. The camera tag, along with a GPS tracker, will transmit real-time data on the shark’s location and behavior for a year. This research aims to shed light on the mysterious behavior of white sharks in the southeastern U.S., particularly during winter and spring months.
