On Wednesday, June 23 at 7:30 pm the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in
Brewster will present Great White Shark Tagging with Dr. Greg Skomal,
biologist with the State Division of Marine Fisheries.
 
$3/Member; $5/Non-Member. Register with the Museum at 508-896-3867.
 
Dr. Skomal's research in tagging Great White Sharks off Monomoy Island to
track their migratory patterns has been widely reported and has drawn
considerable public interest.
 
He will present an exciting program on the pop-up satellite transmitting
tagsplaced on Great White Sharks off Chatham last summer and what the
scientific community is learning about the travels and behavior of this
ancient and mythic animal. Cape Cod's growing seal population points to
continued and greater sightings of the Great White Shark.
 
Dr. Skomal is the author of The Shark Handbook: The Essential Guide for
Understanding the Sharks of the World.
 
This presentation is a special opportunity to hear about current shark
studies by an international shark expert who cares deeply about the
protection of the marine environment.
 
            For further information, contact the Museum at 508-896-3867or go
