North Atlantic, the white shark is not considered an abundant species and
efforts to study its life history and ecology have been hampered by the
inability of researchers to predictably encounter these sharks. However, with
the protection of marine mammals over the last 40 years, the western North
Atlantic gray seal population has rebounded and there is strong evidence that
white sharks have expanded their foraging strategies to include active
predation on these animals off Cape Cod, MA. For the first time, researchers
have predictable access to white sharks in the North Atlantic. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This presentation will highlight the results
of this research.</font></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 18pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style='color: rgb(54, 54, 54); font-family: "proxima-nova","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";'><font face="Comic Sans MS,sans-serif"><font size="3"></font></font></span> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 18pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style='color: rgb(54, 54, 54); font-family: "proxima-nova","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";'><font face="Comic Sans MS,sans-serif"><font size="3"><o:p><strong><span style='color: rgb(54, 54, 54); font-family: "proxima-nova","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;'><font face="Comic Sans MS,sans-serif"><font size="3">Date: June 10<o:p></o:p></font></font></span><font color="#000000" face="Comic Sans MS,sans-serif"> </font><span style='color: rgb(54, 54, 54); font-family: "proxima-nova","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;'><font face="Comic Sans MS,sans-serif"><font size="3">Time: 7 – 8 pm </font></font></span><span style='color: rgb(54, 54, 54); font-family: "proxima-nova","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;'><font face="Comic Sans MS,sans-serif"><font size="3">Where: Marion Music Hall, 164 Front Street, Marion, MA<o:p></o:p></font></font></span><font color="#000000" face="Comic Sans MS,sans-serif"> </font><span style='color: rgb(54, 54, 54); font-family: "proxima-nova","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;'><font face="Comic Sans MS,sans-serif"><font size="3">Cost: $8.00 members, $10.00 nonmembers.
