Tracking Great Whites

Ocearch wants to bring back the balance to the oceans . This North American organisation has made it their mission . Ocearch gathers information on sea life by tracking animals . They even track great white sharks . In fact , a recent successful project has made Ocearch headline news . What did they do and what did they find ?

Latest project
Ocearch monitors tracks different animals , for , turtles , seals , dolphins , whales sharks . In September , an Ocearch team was looking for great white sharks along the North American coast . In fact , they were able to sample and tag eight great white sharks . Possibly , the most amazing catch of all was an enormous shark they name Nukumi ? ? Queen of the Ocean . ?

Nukumi
Nukumi was found off the coast of Nova Scotia , Canada . The team named her Nukumi , pronounced noo - goo - mee , after the wise old grandmother figure of the Native American Mi ? kmaq people . Why ? , this shark is a grandmother . She is around 50 years old . Probably , she had her first litter of pups 30 years ago . So , those babies will now be having litters of their own .

Caught
First , the shark was hooked with a smaller boat and brought to a large lift . Then , it was taken out of the water . In a precisely timed 15 - minute operation , the shark was first measured and then tested . Nukumi weighs more than 1 , 600 kg and is nearly 5 , 25 m long . Ocearch has actually tagged similar sized sharks elsewhere in the world . , this shark is the biggest in the northwest Atlantic . After being measured , blood samples were taken . Then , a tag was attached to the dorsal fin . , she was released back into the ocean .

Tracking
Using satellite tags , researchers can actually follow the sharks for five years . By tracking the sharks , Ocearch hopes to find out more about them . First , where do these sharks give birth . , how deep do they swim . , record their movements . The number of sharks in the world is dropping . But , oceans need these large predators to keep the balance . ? If we understand their lives , we can help them thrive , ? says an Ocearch scientist . , by helping them thrive , we help the system survive .
