Sharktober

Join the Monterey Bay White Shark Project for an exciting look at the latest research about one of the ocean's most iconic predators. For 25 years, an interdisciplinary team of scientists has been studying white sharks and their interactions with sea lions, elephant seals, and harbor seals throughout the Monterey Bay and Farallon National Marine Sanctuaries. Now, researchers are taking their work to the next level with cutting-edge tools, including electronic tags, genomics, environmental DNA, drones, and advanced oceanographic and ecological models, to reveal where these animals go, how they interact, and how they survive in a changing ocean. Hear directly from Drs. Barbara Block, Daniel Costa, and Corey Garza, along with their students, postdocs, and scientific staff, as they share stories and discoveries from their research. 🎬 Plus, see the Stanford new short film by local cinematographer Kip Evans! The film follows the journeys of these magnificent predators and their prey, showcasing the latest technology scientists are using to unlock the secrets of life beneath the waves. Come discover what scientists are learning about white sharks, their prey, and the future of conservation in Monterey Bay and the Pacific. 🦈 Science. Sharks. Secrets of the Sea. Don’t miss it!
