Great White Shark Numbers on the Rise, According to Researchers

Researchers from Ocearch have observed a significant increase in the number of great white sharks off the East Coast of the US, with the ocean teeming with life like it hasn't since the 1940s or 50s. Ocearch has been studying and tagging great white sharks for the last decade, tracking their migration patterns online. The team has studied over 90 great white sharks, collecting samples for 24 different scientific studies, including one that would test the shark's hormone levels to discern whether she was mating. A healthy shark population is better for the entire planet, says chief scientist Dr. Bob Heuter.
