The Block Lab track white sharks by employing cutting-edge telemetry and tagging techniques. Researchers in the lab attach electronic tags to the sharks, which provides real-time data on their movements, behaviors, and their diving behaviors. This allows for continuous monitoring as the sharks travel through the coastal waters. In parallel, the lab uses oceanographic instruments to gather information on environmental variables like temperature and ocean currents. Photo identification of sharks along with acoustic tagging provides the basis for mark recapture models that enable censusing the local population. Environmental DNA and genomics are being used to better understand the evolutionary relationships of the sharks and their presence in local waters.  By combining these datasets, the researchers can build a comprehensive picture of how white sharks interact with their environment, offering valuable insights into their migratory behavior and habitat use.
