Between 2009-2014, Massachusetts scientists tagged 56 white sharks with coded acoustic transmitters and/or satellite-based tracking tags to examine fine- and broad-scale movements along the east coast of the US. In 2014, these scientists began a multi-year study to estimate local and regional white shark population sizes in the Western North Atlantic. </span><br style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Cynthia Wigren will present highlights of the results of the scientist's research, and provide information about the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, established in 2012 to fund white shark research and promote shark education. </span><br style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">This free presentation is part of the Center for Coastal Studies' Winter Lecture Series, which is supported by Napi's Restaurant at 7 Freeman Street in Provincetown.
