yes that awesome youj right here we caught and tagged a 14 foot long female white shark um that we nicknam Lee Beth um since we tagged her in early December she's traveled over 2,000 miles um she has moved the furthest west into the Gulf of Mexico any white shark ever been tracked so she has certainly made shark Science History since she was has pinged in there she's turned back and she's now headed back east and we expect to see her move back into the waters off of New England or Canada at some
point this summer so so she was the first shark that ever received a camera tag in the Southeast and it was really incredible from the perspective of a shark scientist because it gave us the first glimpse into the life of a white shark in their overwintering habitat ever this is a population that's recovering um after being fished down really hard so it's a conservation success story it's really encouraging to see
