Scientists tag great white sharks to learn how to better protect the endangered species

Over four days on the water in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Heather Bowlby and her team from Fisheries and Oceans Canada tagged 15 great white sharks.The animals are listed as endangered on the federal Species at Risk Act, and data from the tags will help Bowlby and her team answer important question that can help with conservation efforts: where the sharks tend to live, what time of year they arrive in Canadian waters, and how old they are.
