HAVE MORE ON THAT
IN JUST A BIT ...BUT
FIRST, WE GOT A
CHANCE TO SPEAK
WITH THE HEAD
SCIENTIST AT THE
HARTE RESEARCH
INTITUTE ABOUT
THEIR INVOLVEMENT
IN SHARK WEEK.
PKG
CHELSEA
THE HARTE
RESEARCH
INSTITUTE'S CENTER
FOR SPORTFISH
SCIENCE AND
CONSERVATION HAS
HAD THE HONOR OF
SHINING THE LIGHT
ON SHARKS FOR
DISCOVERY
CHANNEL'S SHARK
WEEK FOR THE LAST
FIVE YEARS.
SOT
GREG: well it's great for us to
be
on Shark Week, we've done four
episodes now really filmed 5,
another one that will air in '19
already. And so it's great
because
this show really teaches the
public about sharks and how
important sharks are to our
oceans.
AND YES - SHARKS
ARE CRUCIAL TO
OUR OCEANIC
HABITAT HERE IN
THE COASTAL BEND.
SOT
GREG: we like to say, an ocean
without sharks is much scarier
than one with them. We tend to
call them the great balance
keepers, they keep the ocean in
a
delicate balance that we need to
support humans on this earth.
SHARK FISHING HAS
MADE QUITE THE
SPLASH IN THE LAST
FEW DECADES. BUT
DR. STUNZ AND HIS
TEAM SAY A GOOD
WAY SCIENTISTS
LEARN ABOUT
SHARKS IN OUR
GULF.. THROUGH
TAGGING FROM
SHARK FISHING.
SOT
GREG: to date they've tagged
well over 5,000 fish, 5,000
sharks
which is quite incredible. We
work
with everyday anglers who catch
sharks and want to release it,
and
they insert one of our tags.
THIS RESEARCH
HELPS UNDERSTAND
MIGRATION
PATTERNS OF
SHARKS. DR. STUNZ
AND HIS SCIENTISTS
HAVE BEEN WORKING
AT THE PADRE
ISLAND NATIONAL
SEASHORE FOR NEXT
YEARS SHARK WEEK
ABOUT SHARKS
FOUND NEAR OUR
GULF WATERS.
SOT
GREG: we were catching and
tagging sharks that came from
very near the seashore so we
could see where they go and
what they do and try to
determine why that area is so
important to sharks down south.
