This is a picture of the tag on our shark Mary Lee. The tag emits a beacon that is sent to a satellite and marked on the map showing the migration patterns of the shark.
The Great White Shark is an apex predator and has very few predators.
Sharks are the most successful predators in the ocean. Their only real enemies are other sharks and humans. Of these two, humans are the only serious threat to the migration success of sharks. Humans threaten sharks and their migration success in several ways. These include killing sharks for their commercial value, for sport, in response to the media, and to protect swimmers at public beaches. More attacks by great whites have been reported than any other shark. But, of all the shark attacks ever reported, 80 % have occurred in the tropics where great whites are rare. There, large hammerheads or requiem sharks are usually to blame.
A typical white shark diving excursion takes between 3-6 hours, depending on the weather, sea conditions and shark behavior.
To attract the sharks to the boat chum is released into the ocean. The sharks use their keen sense of smell to pinpoint the origin of the chum slick. The shark is lured even closer using pieces of fish bait or seal-shaped lures. As sharks are surface feeders they are clearly visible from the boat.
