Scientists will deploy 70 electronic tags on 3 vulnerable shark species around Britain, pairing new tracking data with anglers’ catch records dating back to 1953
- Representative Image (AI-generated)Britain’s coastal waters are home to more shark species than many people might expect, but scientists still know surprisingly little about how several of these animals move, feed and reproduce.
- In a report by The Guardian, researchers outlined plans for a new three-year project that will combine modern electronic tracking with decades of observations recorded by recreational anglers.
- The project will focus on three vulnerable shark species found around Britain: porbeagle, tope, also known as school sharks, and blue sharks.
