This week's session features Greg Skomal from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries as he presents JAWS Revisited: What have we learned about the great white shark?.
At the age of 50, JAWS is still considered one of the most influential thrillers of all time. In this insightful lecture, Greg Skomal will explore how the film shaped our perception of the great white shark as a fearsome villain, and how years of research have worked to correct that narrative. Using high-tech tagging, Dr. Skomal has been studying the behavior and ecology of the white shark in the Atlantic for over 40 years. In this presentation, he will share the results of this research and set the record straight about this iconic species.
