NEWPORT, Ore. â The population of white sharks that call the Central California coast their primary home is holding steady at about 300 animals and shows some signs of growth, a new long-term study of the species has shown.
Between 2011 and 2018, researchers were able to identify hundreds of individual adult and subadult white sharks, which are not fully mature but are old enough to prey on marine mammals. They used that information to develop estimates of the sharksâ abundance.
âThe finding, a result of eight years of photographing and identifying individual sharks in the group, is an important indicator of the overall health of the marine environment in which the sharks live,â said Taylor Chapple of the Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station at Oregon State Universityâs Hatfield Marine Science Center and a co-author of the study.
Conservationists are petitioning the federal government to save a species of whale that washed ashore in Everglades National Park two years ago. They’d like to establish mandatory vessel speed limits
