Where does a baby shark grow up? Do teenage sharks stay close to home, or do they explore? And how can scientists follow an animal that spends almost all of its life underwater?
Join Julia to explore how scientists study the young sharks in Miami and the Everglades. Students will learn how researchers safely catch and tag sharks, how satellite and acoustic tags allow us to follow their movements, and how thousands of shark locations can be turned into maps revealing where these animals spend their time. Along the way, Julia will share stories, photos, videos, and real tracking data from her research and explain how following baby and teenage sharks can help scientists identify important nursery habitats and protect the places sharks need as they grow.
