Using Data Buoys to Track Sharks in Cape Cod
Despite the bad rap sharks often get in the media, they are incredibly important to marine ecosystems. Still, sharks residing in coastal, high-traffic areas can pose a risk to public safety—as a result, shark tracking and monitoring projects are often conducted in these waters. 
 
Regardless of the bad press, biologists like Gregory Skomal, a Senior Fisheries Scientist with the MA Division of Marine Fisheries, have always been interested in learning more about shark behavior for the sake of informing conservation efforts. 
 
“I was passionate about sharks as a child. I wanted to be a marine biologist, and pursued it through my education and ended up where I am today,” recalls Skomal.
