In August, I was able to spend a week in Cape Cod with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy observing and learning about the local white shark populations. The first thing I noticed is that white sharks on the coast here tend to be a bit larger than the juvenile sharks I observe in Southern California. At one point, I filmed a shark approximately 12-14 feet long just 25 yards from shore. This video is part one of a series I'm releasing about sharks in and around Cape Cod.
We spent a few days on the water monitoring, observing, and tagging white sharks. It was very much a learning experience and I was very happy to share my knowledge of drones with scientists in the area to help in scientific research and public safety.
Special thanks to AWSC, Cynthia Wigre & Ben Wigren. And big thanks to research technicians Victoria Migneko & Kelly Alvez for the drone support and the drone flying contests (I won the landing pad contest btw)!
Thank you AWSC intern Hannah Leary & your family for your help in getting me to Cape Cod!
Big thanks to Pelham on Main for the support.
