my friend showed me this amazing government website that tracks tiger sharks. they have a program that puts satellite tags on several tiger sharks here in hawaii and watches where they go. i think they tagged 14 or so big tiger sharks and now i can track them. so cool!
most of the sharks have been hanging around molokai and the maui area. some come over to oahu to places like kaimana beach, waikiki, ala moana bowls, and lanikai. haha. remember that this is only several tiger sharks out of thousands. but you get the rough idea where they hang out and talk story.
here are the lucky sharks that are being followed. i think this is very valuable information as scientists are trying to learn more about these amazing sharks.
this is the timeline of just one of the 13′ tiger sharks in the past month. she’s been hanging around molokai and maui. and was just tracked yesterday way off oahu.
i was thinking of putting a satellite tag on me someday so you can all follow me too. haha. just joking.
swim safe!
