OCEARCH Great White Shark Research Vessel: Recorded on board in the Atlantic Ocean

An interview recorded aboard the famous OCEARCH great white shark
research vessel, which has completed 26 worldwide expeditions. In
addition to global conservation outreach & education, OCEARCH
shares real-time data through their free "Global Shark Tracker."
You can download the app on your phone to track white sharks all
over the world. Scientists attach a small tracking device to the
animals dorsal fin which automatically turns off when submerged and
transmits gps coordinates once it has been exposed to air for at
least 90 seconds. This device eventually falls off the animal as
the shark continues to grow (Great White Sharks can grow upwards of
20' in length). Many things set the OCEARCH apart from other
research vessels, one major contributor is the fact that they lift
the animals out of the water using a hydraulic crane which is safer
for both the researchers and the animals. www.ocearch.org
