"Shallow Waters: Baby Great White Sharks' Shore Preference Revealed"
Marine scientists have discovered that juvenile great white sharks prefer warm and shallow waters close to the shore, gathering in "nurseries" off central California. The study, one of the largest and most detailed of its kind, used sensor-transmitters to track the sharks' movements and found that they dive to greater depths for foraging at dawn and dusk, while staying closer to the surface in the afternoon to increase body temperature. The research is crucial for the conservation of great white sharks, especially as ocean temperatures rise due to climate change, and for understanding their nursery behavior and habitat preferences.
