Marion Natural History Museum presents “White Sharks in the North Atlantic” with Dr. Greg Skomal, Senior Marine Fisheries Scientist, MA Marine Fisheries. Despite its well-established presence in the North Atlantic, the white shark is not considered an abundant species and efforts to study its life history and ecology have been hampered by the inability of researchers to predictably encounter these sharks. However, with the protection of marine mammals over the last 40 years, the western North Atlantic gray seal population has rebounded and there is strong evidence that white sharks have expanded their foraging strategies to include active predation on these animals off Cape Cod, MA. For the first time, researchers have predictable access to white sharks in the North Atlantic. This presentation will highlight the results of this research. The program will be on June 10 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm at the Marion Music Hall, 164 Front Street, Marion. Cost is $8 for members and $10 for nonmembers.
