The tag that we recovered from the juvenile white shark released by the Monterey Bay Aquarium on January 16 shows that he high-tailed it west from the 50°F waters of Monterey Bay to warmer waters

The juvenile white shark tag recorded temperature, depth, and light-levels every five seconds during the 90 days that it was deployed on the shark resulting in more than 4.5 million data points.

This was a race of a different sort: chasing after a small tag in a big ocean as it was heading out to sea.

The white shark tag has returned to Monterey. After a tricky U-turn, the tag started drifting offshore and we feared we might lose it.

Here is the entire course of the drifting white shark tag after it released from the animal and floated to the surface.

Five days after the satellite tag released from the white shark, the tag has traveled another 19 miles east and seems to be holding a steady course.

Early Sunday morning we got our first hit from the satellite tag we attached to the juvenile white shark before releasing it from the Monterey Bay Aquarium on January 16.

We tagged 40 white sharks this past fall along the coast of Northern California between Tomales Bay and Ano Nuevo Island.
