Abstract
Although white sharks have always been part of the marine fauna of the =
Northwest Atlantic, their elusiveness has made them nearly impossible to =
study. Most of what we know about their biology has come from the study =
of dead specimens and through sightings reports. Now, with predictable =
access to white sharks attracted by grey seal colonies, there is an =
opportunity to study their overall ecology and life history in the =
Atlantic. To accomplish this, MSRP scientists have been tagging and =
tracking white sharks with satellite based and acoustic telemetry tags. =
Tagging data are helping to discern fine- and broad-scale movements as =
well as identify, characterize, and quantify essential habitat.  =20
