1.No new ping data
2. Can cause the sharks not to partake in seasonal migrations. If no water from the power plants than the sharks may succumb to thermal shock, thermal stress. Bull sharks in Florida have been found to have levels of pharmaceuticals that are disposed of through waste water discharge. For example, a Frisbee has been found like a noose around a sharks gills. 1. no new pings
northeastoceandata.org: The Portal provides user-friendly access to maps, data, tools, and information needed. The Portal brings together key types of data on ocean uses and the environment. data.unep-wcmc.org: offers opportunities to view and download a range of spatial data sets that are useful for informing decisions regarding the conservation of marine and coastal biodiversity. www.ceope.udel.edu/our-people/profiles/moliver/orb-lab/real-time-satellite-data: Lets users to view real time sea surface temperature, real time chlorophyll concentration, and real time salinity maps and data. 3. northeastoceandata.org and www.neope.udel.edu/our-people/profiles/moliver/orb-lab/real-time-satellite-data are the best websites for my shark because it tells me about my shark's health and what kind of conditions she is living in. Review of SharkWater: it was a very informative documentary, I did not dislike any way they produced it. Stewart went scuba diving with sharks of numerous species, often stroking and even hugging them. I saw his devotion to the documentary and findings when Mr. Stewart climbed a building to film illegally obtained shark fins drying on a roof. I liked how he aimed to dispel myths and show how sharks' plight has an impact on human life. I would give it a five out of five star movie.
Website: www.todayinsharknews.com Article Title: Mako shark travels 13,000 miles in less than two years Author: Perry Chairamont Summary: A new record has been broken by a male mako shark that travelled over 13,000 miles in under two years. Hell’s Bay was first tagged in May 2015 off of the coast of Ocean City, Md. In the first half of his journey, he travelled north along the eastern seaboard, and then made a return near the original tagging site. spent 2016 hanging around the Maryland area with occasional jaunts throughout the Atlantic, exploring the northern beauty of Nova Scotia and taking in beach days near Bermuda before heading back to Ocean City. So far this Year, the mako has been following a similar pattern, but closer to the coastline. reported that 22 percent of the makos that have been satellite tagged were found to have been caught or killed by commercial or recreational fisherman. Between 70-100 million sharks are killed every year. What I took away from this article: The mako sharks can travel fast and that we need to stop the commercial fishing of them. Website: www.todayinsharknews.com Article Title: Injured Whale Shark treated at sea Author: Online reporters Summary: A whale shark whose tail had become caught in a two-metre rope coated with sharp barnacles has been released from its suffering and treated with antibiotics in the Gulf of Thailand. What I took away from the article: whale sharks are one of 19 protected animals. there are around 200 whale sharks, split equally between the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea. The whale shark is the largest species of any fish. Females have been known to reach 19 metres in length and weigh up to 31 tonnes, although most whale sharks never reach such record sizes. They feed almost exclusively on plankton and are completely harmless to humans. 1. no movement has occurred with my shark
2. you can use the map to find real time information on different sensors with different kinds of sources, platforms, and clusters. Examples of sensors are: Air Temp, Conductivity, currents, depth, and many others Sources: most sources are from universities or government sponsored organizations Platforms: buoy or fixed or both Cluster data: always or never or auto There are no sensors near where my shark is located but however if there were sensors where my shark is than I would have good information to help me understand my shark more. For example if the depth is very deep than that would explain why my shark hasn't surfaced enough for the system to get her ping data. Also another example is dissolved oxygen, if an area has less dissolved oxygen than it would be a less likely place for animals to survive in which would explain why my shark moved from certain areas or died. All great whites are along the east coast of the United States and heading south. The east coast is a great feeding ground for sharks but especially for the great whites. Not all great whites are the same gender. All of our sharks were immature so they were quite young.
In the article: Ocearch believes that waters off of Long Island is where a baby daycare center after they tagged and followed 9 baby great whites. Jeff Glor says “Probably the most important significant discovery we’ve ever made on the ocean.". it is the first shark nursery found in the North Atlantic. Researchers followed Mary Lee to locate the young sharks and their birth site. Scientist are trying to figure out if the numerous great whites near Cape Code are related to the newly tagged sharks. Madakat has been staying around the Nantucket area, doesn't seem she will be moving anywhere else any time soon.
