StatusCompleted
SummaryThe goal of this project is to measure the sub-surface environmental conditions in the White Shark Cafe, halfway between Hawaii
and Baja, California. This area is frequented by White sharks, as well as other large marine mammals and sharks, and researchers
do not understand what is attracting animals to this apparent ocean desert. The glider will concurrently record detections of
acoustic tags carried by White sharks or other tagged animals in the region to help us census the marine life present during the
study
