Shark! Harpooning Great Whites for Science with Dr. Greg Skomal — WildFed Podcast #064

Dr. Greg Skomal — senior fisheries biologist with Massachusetts Marine Fisheries — is one of the world's leading shark experts and is the foremost authority on great white sharks in the Northeast. Join us for a glimpse into a typical day at "the office" for Greg — from harpooning great whites for research off the coast of Cape Cod to an adrenalizing encounter with a shark while out on the boat’s pulpit. In this riveting conversation, Greg sheds light on this often misunderstood species and shares a bit about their evolutionary biology, life history, intelligence, attacks on humans, and the current science that informs white shark management and conservation.
