Summary
Get to know the habits of the Blacktip Shark and why they aggregate so close to shore. Just in time for summer, Katrina and Guy visit with shark expert Stephen Kajiura from Florida Atlantic University about shifting baselines and why these sharks are adjusting their migration farther north up the East Coast. We discuss how scientists study these sharks, what drives their migration, beachgoing safety tips, fishing considerations, and what it's like to be a shark biologist.
